05 NovDrawdown and Dealing with Losses

If you are losing with forex, you probably want a forex trading course that will turn those losses into profits. No-one can have moneymaking trades one hundred pc of the time. Even the most perfect trader who never makes a single foolish mistake will have times where the market just does not follow his plan. Then for most of us, we are not that perfect trader in the first place. It is not an issue of shedding the losses, but of reducing them so that they come out to less than the profits.

To try this, it is important to find out how to lose successfully : in other words, to deal with the inescapable losses in the best way. The best way is just to record the loss on the spreadsheet where you record all of your trades, together with the trigger, the stop loss that you set, and what occurred.

There’s no need to analyze it to death at this time. You can look at all your trading at the end of the week or month and determine whether any patterns are emerging. But aside from that there’s no point in getting strung out about a loss. It has happened and that’s it. Simpler said than done, I know. But you can scale back your anxiousness about losses by knowing your system really thoroughly. All systems go thru bad times when they just appear to lose and lose, even when you’re doing everything by the book. This is the most that you would expect to lose in a bad run. It is the low point that your funds would reach between two highs, subtracted from the high. Before the bad run, let’s imagine that the highest spot the account balance would have reached was 1000 points. At the worst point in the bad run it was down to 650. The drawdown here is the difference between 1000 and 650, i.e. 350 or thirty five percent.
