Why would you allow yourself, to consider even losing that much of an account? If you can't ever accept a loss and are pig headed about where you think price is going there is no hope for you in trading, you are wasting your time.

I posted here on Friday and I said that i did a mistake that I opened a long position and forgot to put stop loss . I just forgot about it and when I see it was -70 pips (the break out on friday). I always put stop losses. And lately i was improving a lot, I was always winning more than loosing. I did simply a stupid mistake. Now I am thinking of closing it. Not sure.

I'm trading real money lol.
Hate to break it too ya $250 may be, "actual money," but in the trading game it isn't "real money." $250 is a good night on the town.

What the other guy said, take a loss and move on, learn from it. The longer you can stay in the game without blowing your accoun the more you will learn. You have to learn not to destroy your account first. Making trades all or nothing will get you wrecked in short order.

Though I applaud you for starting with $250, when most nubs start with a few K that is their life savings and lose it thinking they are going to whip the markets.

Close it and take a break from trading. Best lesson I ever learned: take the loss then walk away from the screens at least for an hour, if not the next day, so that you can see the screen fresh and without bias. For me the reason was that I would try to revenge trade and end up in a death spiral, where I would trade with my ego instead of my logical plan, that when followed protected my account.

Plan your risk ahead of placing the trade and stick with it. If you risk x over x pips, then stick with it. If you can't accept the risk dont take the trade. P.S. Make sure your risk isn't more than 5% per trade, and 5% is high, past 5% it becomes difficult to make up for losses when they come, and they always come.

P.P.S. I would close it, EU has a lot of room below. If you don't want to take such a hard hit, wait for a long retrace and get out before another leg down.

I think it will. It's just testing 1.2100 and taking a breather mid session. Though it might be going into a ranging mode and go back up to 1.2138 1.21500, before heading down again.

I'm already short and in profit, so of course I'm rooting for the bears right now.

Well ... that's what you think ...

He did not ask you for advice ...

Old enough and he has learned his lesson ... as he did tell us ... and I believe in that ...

Moreover you don't pay him in case if the market pops up again and he would have followed that advice to cover his losses at the low zone ...

He obviously as got enough nerves that he can wait to cover at a more convenient level ...

If that morning star on H1 holds, might try a little long, because of the divergence on H4 and Daily like KillerWhale pointed out earlier today. Not yet though

So, what's your advice for him?, wait till margin call or profit.....if profit pat himself on the back for having, "balls big enough to hold on," and if margin call try to make back his account with an impossibly smaller account?

I gave him advice because he's doing the exact thing I did with my very first account, going all or nothing. I know how that story ends and it isn't happy.
