In trading loss will be there. A good trader knows how to recover the loss. They are very calculative and discipline in their trading. But most traders can not tolerate loss. As a result they open revenge trades.

The first step in forex is to accept the losses and learn from the mistakes made so that it avoided during future trades.

@Akasuki Yes you are right. Every trader should know how to minimize loss. As Warren Buffett said, Risk comes from not knowing what you are doing. Skills and experience is mandatory in forex trading.

How do you guys set the risk-reward ratio for your trades?
I prefer using 1:3 risk to reward ratio... It has proved ideal for maximum of my trades.
The more your practice, the more you learn.

if you can't handle the loss, then the loss will handle you, so be careful, because there is no way to avoid losses in spite of having good knowledge and experience.

Losses are part of trading. Yes, it is...Unfortunately.
But losses have one big PLUS: you start to analyze what have you made wrong. And next time you try do not make the same mistake. Any loss can bring you more profit in future. That's what I think.

Yes, one cannot just avoid losses, even if we do all our calculations, risk management, stop loss etc, still there will be a chance for the trade to result opposite to your prediction, thus you need to be prepared and work on covering up the loss later rather than just cribbing over it.
The more your practice, the more you learn.

Losses are part of trading but at what point do you say your strategy is not working. 1 loss , 10 loss, 100 loss?

Losses are something to do with the risk management or money management . Losses don't relate to the strategy based on my 11 years experience from trading forex . Always think about risks when opening any trades , have a plan how much you are going to lose rather than how much you are going to win .
Often , the best trade is no trade at all

Loss is a part of trading. So if you want to cover this loss, you should maintain a risk ratio and plan.

True. What is your risk to return ratio?
