Losses can only be avoided if the trades are executed smartly. If you simply define a stop loss after entry it is going to hit most of the times before the price goes up.

This like asking how to avoid dying - you can't.
If you can't spot the liquidity then you are the liquidity.

Using a stop loss order can help traders reduce their losses in forex trading. This will allow them to cut their losses when the market goes against their position.

Couldn’t have said it any better! Traders can backtest their risk management strategies on a demo account.

It's impossible to avoid losses on forex, nevertheless I know some traders who could handle trading without losses. They are really careful and the matter here is to determine the direction of your strategy correctly. To my mind, nowadays traders are eager to earn as much money as they want and it doesn't mean any tactics. They just want to open positions and receive money, while it doesn't work like that. The main idea o trading means that you have to know your strategy and you have to understand how to apply it without losses. In the case you will be able to trade successfully actually.

How to avoid losses in forex-

1) Go with a trading plan - without a trading plan, a trader is throwing darts in the dark. A good trading plan should include details of your trades and goals that you want to achieve

2) Use stop losses to prevent risks-

The forex market is quite volatile. A stop loss prevents big losses.

3) Avoid high leverage

Although leverage can be useful to win big profits, it can also backfire. A trader should take high leverage, especially if they’re trading pairs with high volatility.

4) Learn to control emotions

Traders are emotional beings. They get influenced by greed, anxiety, and fear. However, these emotions can be an obstacle and prevent traders from making informed decisions, which increases the risk. Traders should learn to develop a good trading psychology.

You will need to learn to control everything that can play a role in your forex trading career including your emotions, strategies, and money. When you know what you are doing and how it is likely to impact your trades, you automatically perform better.

Bear in mind that you cannot avoid losses completely. But you can reduce them to an extent by taking proper measures like not using high leverage ratio, following a money management technique, researching and analysing the market before opening a trading position and treating forex trading as a business.

There is no sure-shot way of avoiding losses. But with a risk management strategy, handling losses becomes easier. You can keep trading because your past trades don’t stop you from trading in the future. And who doesn’t know, it’s a long trading career that we all long for.

It is true. We need to accept that losses are part of FX trading and then work on dealing with them best

It would not be possible for anyone to share mantras that guarantee no losses in forex trading because they are unavoidable. But yes, you can work on improving the number of your profits so that you are in profit overall.

You can never really avoid losses in forex; the right way is to minimise the amount of losses by taking necessary measures to manage the risks. You should always depend upon an effective risk management system while trading. You should only take risks based on logical calculations and avoid impulsive trading at all costs. Over trading is also a reason that leads to traders suffering huge losses. You should know when to start and stop trading and make sure to not get carried away by your emotions.

Unfortunately, you will not be able to avoid losses in the Forex market. It will be but you have to make it a minimum.
It seems to me that a successful trader should not have more than 10% of losing trades.
As for the newbies.... it would be great if it were no more than 30%...
Of course everyone should do everything possible to have more profitable trades.
This requires discipline and risk management. You don't have to risk a lot of money. You don't need to open a trade you are not sure about. There can be bad consequences.
I will not say about the need to have a trading strategy. It's obvious, guys.
A trader without a strategy is not a trader. He's a gambler.
Unfortunately, Forex is not a game. Everything here is serious!
