Are you implying that losing is a function of size?

I would say, losing is an inverted function of size.

As in:

LOSING = X / SIZE

The bigger the size the less you lose?

 

Yeah, Losing = 1/size

Big player weight as 100,000 ,anchovie player weigh as 0.001

You do the math.

Yeah, i agree with you. We can use demo account to practice trading before we trade with real account. I also still trade with my fbs demo account, because i'm a beginner.

Loss is part of business. Loss in trading can happen even though you are a very good trader. It is impossible to find a 100% successful trader in forex because there is no holy grail in forex trading.

We have to establish a good trading strategy that can help us to get consistent profit and also have to follow proper money management to reduce the risk.

 

There are really four types of trades.

Good Winning Trades

Good Losing Trades

Bad Winning Trades

Bad Losing Trades

As long as you are taking the Good Trades according to your system and rules over and over you should do well (assuming a properly tested method). Some will win and some will lose, even if they are a Good Trade. It's when you start taking Bad Trades where you break your rules that things get out of control.

And losing trades aren't the worst thing that can happen anyways. The most dangerous trade is the Bad Winning Trade, that serves to encourage your bad behavior and leads to huge problems if you keep along the path.
