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.

In my opinion, the only way to avoid losses in forex is by gaining appropriate forex education.
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.
The most working and realistic option is to have enough experience to resist this. This needs to be worked on regularly.
The most important thing is to pay enough attention to experience and training. These aspects most influence the results of traders' work.
You can never fully avoid losses but yes, losses can be minimised by proper discipline, money and risk management, in depth knowledge, use of stop losses, confidence, determination, proper strategy, consistency, patience and a keen observation on the statistics.

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!

Successful traders are never impatient but unsuccessful traders are never patient. This is the cardinal difference between a successful and an unsuccessful trader.

In forex, losses are just a part of it that will happen from time to time. I think the best thing you can do is take steps to minimize those losses, like placing a SL, for example.
