It all depends on your strategy and risk/reward etc;

For instance if you have a trading strategy where you win 8 out of 10 trades, your losing streaks will be around 4 trades max, where as someone who has a strategy winning 4 out of 10 trades with a decent risk reward, then they may go 8 or more trades without a win. It all varies from strategies.

Depends on the RR i have, which is now around 1.2 Reward to 1 to 2 Risk, so i have like maximum 3 losers in a row, but very rarely, as i have multiple orders on, and they are hedged so i dont really let the Equity go below -6 or -7% DD of the Balance.

40-50, as they were traded in a bulk, 6-7 trades in a bulk, lose the entire bulk like 3 times and the account is gone.It was one of the most stupid ideas that i ever had.Although the risk/ 1 trade was never more than 2-3 %, still it had the potential to lose the entire account in no time.

Wow, no doubt about the potential to lose it. How did it go though?

I deleted the account afterwards as it was only a demo, i would never do such stupidity on a real one.

I think it was something like seven or eight consecutive trades back in 2012. That was not a pleasant experience at all. Still, I learned an important lesson - if you start a losing streak, stop, just stop and step away from the computer.

well I had consecutive losses in 3 trade or 2 trade rarely though but I always gain back what I lose on the same day and gain much more after that

I've had losing streaks that lasted from several days to over a week. The problem is to make sure that your winning streaks last longer than your losing ones.

For me, it is 23 in a row! In my 2nd month of live trading, very pathetic experience.

Always use stop losses
