Recovering lost capital is very hard.

[gkintl]

As you rightly said recovering from loss is very difficult. The moment a trader loses a huge chunk of his capital, confidence is lost. From then on repeated mistakes are done. This is a cycle very difficult to break. That is the reason for stressing on using low leverage/exposure. A small loss will never demoralize you. A big loss will beat your morale down to earth. Capital management is a very important task for traders. A bit of overconfidence is all that is required to lose everything in forex market.

To recover our losses in forex trading is not too difficult, instead it is actually patience that we need because it takes time to achieve this. Forex traders should be aware of this as they trade at all times.

yes we can hardly recover our lose from trade as we make lose our capital.I saw some traders to lose huge to recover their lose.And for this reason they have to face margin call also and can not trade in forex ever.

yes recover the loss really very hard if you have small capital and the loss very big or your margin start to decreasing but if you have big capital and your margin big you will recover easily so we must trade with small lot to be in save and give us a good chance if we lose to recover easily but if we trade with big lot the loss will be big and the recover will be big

If some one lost a portion of your account, it is very difficult it will be restored. If you loss 20% of your account, you'll need to loss recover new balance to be 40%. And if you loss 50%, you'll need new balance to be 100% profit for the loss recover. So if you loss big portion of your account after that you'll be busy to recover the amount, but who will be profit? The challenge here. So money management is very important of the forex trader.

It depend on the strategy that we use for recovery there are many trader when they went into losse at that time they reduce their lot size and become specific in pairs. But there are too many traders who double their lot size when they lose some of capital. Majorly it depend on the trading approach that trader use as basics.

Yes you are right when any trader lost his capital it is very difficult to recover this loss and earn more profit but it is necessary because we cannot earn profit before recovering loss.

trading without a stop loss is very much in use by senior trader, although very risky, but they could well benefit, because they have a great system, trading without a stop loss is not a problem, as beginners do not use this system, because in my opinion is very risky .

I agree recovering lost capital is a big head ache to worry about. Specially if you already loss 50% of your capital that would really caused heavy damaged on your confidence and self esteem. Sometimes you will feel depressed and losing enthusiasm to trade and sometimes it would result to suicide trading. Moments like this you need to be strong and never quit trying to succeed in your trading. Remember,no guts no glory...!!!

Yes it is true that recovering lost capital in Forex is very hard because there is more pressure if we are trying to get our money back and we feel scared and nervous because we might lose more money so our emotions are getting affected.

[abbey ak]

yes you are very correct and the more you try to recover the lost capital the more you keep losing your capital so i think the best way to protect our capital is by making use of proper money management and stop lose also help go a very long way based on my understanding in the forex investment, happy trading
