Hello fellow traders,

I hope this message finds you well. I'm relatively new to the world of Forex trading and I'm eager to learn as much as I can to improve my skills and understanding of the market. I've been exploring various strategies and techniques, but I believe there's no substitute for the insights and experiences shared by those who have been actively involved in Forex trading.

I'm particularly interested in gaining insights into risk management strategies, effective ways to handle emotions while trading, and the use of technical and fundamental analysis in decision-making. Additionally, I'm curious about the experiences of others with automated trading systems and different Forex brokers.

If you have any advice, recommendations, or personal experiences you'd be willing to share, I would greatly appreciate it. Whether you're a seasoned trader or just starting like me, I believe there's always something valuable to learn from each other.

Looking forward to engaging with this community and learning from your expertise.

Just don't expect to become a millionaire in one night, and keep grinding. View the process in the long term and this way you will not be disheartened by early losses.

The foremost piece of advice when dealing with drawdowns is to avoid trying to recover the losses whatever it takes. Overtrading will just lead to more losses. From the point of view of the psychology, it might even make sense to stop trading for some time to let your emotions settle down and then return to trading with a calm mind.

Never risk more than you can afford to lose. Emotions can be tricky, so always have a plan and stick to it.

Always set stop-loss orders to manage your risk. Position sizing is also crucial. Ensure you're not over-leveraging your account.

Keep drawdowns small and take a break when you get them too much or too frequently. It is important to retain cool mind and adjust your rules when you are not affected by some emotions like greed or fear

If you have some experience in trading, you know there will be losses and that is the case for all of us, so accepting this fact will be very helpful.
