the main thing is to try different options for working so that you understand the comparison of these methods and their disadvantages and advantages
Yeah it is also important to make sure that impact from your losses is manageable, i.e. you won't fall into trap of emotions due to the size of unexpected loss.
Your losses are what define your future trading journey. So, you gotta hustle up all the mistakes or losses you made in your trade and find the middle term to break even that mistake
Usually I ignore losses of particular trades because figuring out why you lost them is useless since you don't have complete information about the market, nor don't get it after the trade is done. However it's useful to pay attention to why you lose on average since it allows you to ditch unprofitable trading systems with decent probability that your decision was correct.
It depends on the loss and the frequency of its occurence in your trading.
If you have losses systematically, then you've got to pay attention to them and get to the bottom of the reasons for them. I feel that one of the key things in trading is that yo should constantly challenge your trading strategy and find the ways to make it better and perfect (although perfection is impossible in trading). Every deal should be examined in the detailed way and you have to analyse the reasons for this or that outcome. If your strategy works well, then you'll have more successes than losses, but even in this case you should have a clear-cut idea of which factors led to the failures. Only by doing these steps can you make your trading improve and your trading results develop. If you have more losses than profits, you've got to analyse your decisions. Perhaps, you misuse some of the indicators or you should be more attentive to the entry/exit points in your trading or emotions play huge role in your trading and so on. I goes without saying that some of the deals will definetely be unsuccessful because the market is rather unpredictable, so, more often than not, you can do everything right but the market decided to go in the opposite direction.
