Lost my first three trades is something I experienced early on. It was rough but I learned a lot from those losses.
I wonder if others had similar starts and managed to improve over time.
Losing streaks are common. Key points:
• Limit risk to 1-2% per trade
• Review losing trades objectively
• Practice on demo accounts first
• Focus on consistent execution over quick profits
Improvement comes with experience and discipline.
Started with 3 losses too. Switched to 1-minute trades, risked 2% per trade. Now I’m up 15% this month. Patience pays off.
Three losses in a row? Yeah, that’s pretty common when you’re new. Markets don’t care about your feelings or your account balance.
Focus on risk management first. Limit each trade to 1% of your account. That way you can survive losing streaks.
I’ve been trading for years and still have bad runs sometimes. The key is to learn from each loss. Review your trades, figure out what went wrong, and adjust your strategy.
Don’t try to make back losses quickly. That’s how accounts get blown up. Stick to your plan, trade small, and be patient. The wins will come if you stay disciplined.
Man, I’ve been there. My first month, I blew through my initial deposit on dumb FOMO trades.
Took a step back, studied price action, and practiced on demo.
Last week, I caught a sweet gold breakout for 120% profit. Felt amazing after all those early losses.
Keep learning, it gets better.
Losing streaks happen to everyone, especially when starting out. Those initial losses can be rough, but they’re valuable lessons.
After my first losing streak, I slowed down and focused on risk management. Smaller position sizes and setting stop losses helped a lot.
Now trading feels less stressful, and the wins are starting to come more consistently.
