Turn losses into lessons
In trading, losses are inevitable. What matters is that you analyze them, learn from them, and turn them into profits in the long term.
Read our tips below and fund your account to keep growing in trading.
1. Improve your risk management
Carefully choose your stop-loss, take-profit, and lot size values. Your settings should let you:
•lose no more than you are ready to
•protect your capital to avoid wiping out your account with a single losing trade
•make a profit in the long run
2. Diversify your portfolio
Never rely on one asset. Diversification is crucial for long-term successful trading. If you trade multiple uncorrelated assets, they are unlikely to all experience volatility and become unmanageable at once.
3. Avoid trading when a loss is more likely
In some situations, the market can be too volatile to enter with more or less predictable results. Volatility can bring impressive profits, but if you are not prepared to lose, you might prefer to wait until the situation becomes more transparent.
4. Learn from experienced analysts and traders
