It’s only human to be fearful. More the capital investment, more the fear.

Most traders have fear of losing. That's why they hold the losing trades in the hope of reversing it. To remove fear you need to know what and why you are opening a trade.

To my mind, if a person has decided to become a trader then he/she must forget about such a feeling like 'fear' in relation to losses. Every trader must know that losses are th biggest part of experience and trading activity at all. Of course it will be tough to worry about first losses, but then he/she will used to them. I suppose that losses should be taken for granted because after string of losses there will be a string of wins and only then a trader understand the significance of losses in trading activity.

Not only am I afraid of losing my trades, but I am also afraid of being wrong. Perhaps, that is because of the fact that I am too arrogant and don't want to be mistaken, but every time I am wrong (that implies losses because of my mistakes but not because of accidental fluctuations), I feel extremely stupid and downcast. I also don't like losing the money but I realise that losses are alright for trading and the fact that I hedge the risks, saves my deposit from destruction.

Experience will bring you in usual feeling when getting loss, different for the beginner trader, they may be still facing fear, anxiety when seeing their trades on loss floating, they hope the price will bounce and get to ride on the track to profit, experience trader usually already prepare the risk included in the plan, so they not too much worried with the loss

@Gavik During trading one needs to be calm and logical. So that any types of emotions do not influence their trading decision.

Fear is part of trading. After all, who wants to lose their money? So, as soon as you'll start accepting this as part of trading, you'll learn and trade in a better way.

People who are fearful of loss and are unprepared for the risk that comes with this business should simply stay away from it. Otherwise, they will be threatened by this market from time to time. In reality, this business is made for those who are looking for big rewards, but also prepared to take on lots of risk.

The reality is that you will have to deal with losses at one point or another. Losing is common to the game, so try not to be afraid of it.

Being afraid of losing trades will just make you trigger shy. It's part of the process and if you can't deal with that you need to learn how to.
If you can't spot the liquidity then you are the liquidity.

If you don't know what you you are doing, fear will be there. But if you know your strategy and plans ins and outs, you will not fear.

I wouldn't call this feeling fear. Surely, I don't want to lose the money, but I am ready to lose them before opening a deal. I know that every deal is a potential loss, so these risks are predictable and I am always prepared for them.

Yes, I'm afraid of getting losses. Any loss is stressfull, you know. But it's important to to accept the loss and analyze it. Don't make the loss once again for the same reason.
