how much was your biggest loss in forex?

how much was your biggest loss in forex? me 30k.

how about yours?

30K is really massive! Actually, I lost my 1st live trading investment and it was only 1K! Frankly, I opened my live trading account so early after making 3-4 winning trades in my demo! Even, my 1st week of live trading was awesome with my low trading skill, but then I crashed my balance! By the way, now I can recover my losses here!

1,5K

Wow! That is huge.. I don't think i can risk that huge amount of money. I can't afford to lose that amount of money. As far as I am concerned, maybe I have just lost $100 in my entire trading for the almost a year..

30 k is really a big amount.
And sorry for that.
I am a retail trader and I have started my trading just with 1k and always try to get return just 25%. So I never take any risk when trading.

When I first started trading, I did fine with a demo account for about 2 weeks, so put 100 on a real account.

The difference was amazing. It was the first time I really felt the difference between losing real money and fake money, and the impact that psychological effect has on your decisions.

I lost 80 in the next two weeks, not much in absolute terms, but the pain of that loss was huge! It was a painful lesson, and I learned that trading profitably is, in fact, incredibly difficult and I needed a proper strategy, otherwise it's just gambling.

it made me evaluate whether I wanted to trade as a hobby or entertainment and just set a limit to monthly losses, (much as some people will gamble as a hobby and view losses as the cost of that entertainment) or if I was bothered enough to actually develop a profitable strategy.

I did the latter, and it was hard, frustrating, but ultimately enjoyable work.

I've lost more that 80 on individual trades since then, but all as part of a bigger, overall profitable strategy that I have tested and have faith in. I don't view those as losses, but as the cost of running the strategy, much the same way that a shop selling products has costs, like rent and electricity. The shop owner pays them as part of an overall profitable business.

That 80 was just wild, uncontrolled trading, so I would say that most I'd lost on a trade was that 80. I can still feel the pain of it.

The same thing happen for me. I was doing good in my demo and very confident. So I started with $1000 on my real account. Lost $500 (50%) in the 1st week. I believe I have a good tradings system and position sizing but I was not prepared for the psychology and the emotional thing, when I can't accept the losses and that's where I started to broke my rules. But it was a very great lesson for me.

My biggest ever loss on an individual forex trade was high six figures, but that was when working on an institutional trading floor and most of it was hedged by an option.

More recently, as an independent trader, my biggest loss on an individual trade was about $15k (on Euro futures), when I tried to be a contrarian at an inopportune moment.

In the last 6 months: 42k, 32k, 16.5k, 10k and then 3.5k..........all Aussie $, mostly all in the space of one day...........
Trading w/o stop-loss...........heartbreaking actually!!
Have I changed my trading style? Hell no!!
Overall I'm still up for the year........

It wasn't really specified whether it was on a single trade, in a single day or overall. So I will give all three. In a single trade I would say about $300. I'm a single day, about $1000. Overall I would say I guess about $5000 at least.

Try make your trading as comfort as possible. follow this money management ratio and you won't lost that much. 1k deposit trade 0.01, 10k deposit trade 0.1 and so on. unless your strategy is good, you can trade 0.1 for just 2 or 3k deposit.

I lost a lot but that was long time ago in my first learning years.

1760 for a year. Still try to get that money back
