The strategy doesn't work because there are many factors as reason, less trading capital, an unprofitable trading system, lack of discipline, forex market chaos, etc.
Yes, losing and still being optimistic is very difficult. But the trader who is determined like you always finds a way towards success. I’d suggest if you don’t maintain your trading journal, opt to maintain one. This will help you keep a record of your past trades and guide you in future trades.
Losing the edge of the trading strategy is a very common challenge faced by many of the traders. Traders should frequently backtest their strategy to prevent losing edge.
Losing money is one challenge and accepting that you have made a loss is the other. Your losses must not make you take up more challenges for no reason.
Loss is part of forex trading where sometimes inevitable, accept loss with never mind to avoid emotion after facing loss trades, recovery from loss is harder because balance is already reduced.
Forex trading is not a trick. If you do not have experience in forex trading then you may be facing a lot of problems. Your account may also be compromised. Get acquainted (gain, obtain) with present and future seniors members. Then you will be able to do successful trading which will bring you huge profits.
For me, it has always been the emotion while trading. Sometimes I get frustrated easily when I make a losses, and I tried to reverse that by placing another trades, which sometimes does well and sometimes fail.
when making a losses we the traders always try to recover this losses by trading over and over this is really a non-sense plan that always happen for newcomers mostly.
