To keep from losing money in forex trading, use these pro tips:

1. Make a detailed plan for trading: To do well, you need a clear plan that says what your goals are, how much risk you can take, and what methods you'll use. This will guide you to smart choices and stop spur-of-the-moment moves that could lead to losing money.

2. Use stop-loss orders: These tools help you manage risk by letting you set a cap on how much money you might lose. With stop-loss orders, you can handle your risk better and stay safe from sudden price changes that you didn't see coming.

3. Watch out for leverage: Forex trading lets you borrow a lot, which can increase your profits but also make your losses bigger. Be smart with leverage and fully get what it means before you trade.

I don't think it's possible to avoid losses completely in Forex trading, I think what we have to do is to learn to accept losses as part of trading costs, you can't evade them at all, I have tried when I first started, but it turned out to be a wasted effort, there's nothing like no loss strategy.

The only thing you have to do is to learn how to manage your risk and only afford what you can afford to lose, so for example you have a 10,000$, risk only 1% of that on an idea, that's how you'll succeed in Forex markets.

Choosing a market session also helps in minimizing risk, trading in sessions with high volatility can provide faster profits than when the market is quiet without price movements or flat, besides that, paying attention to real-time spreads is also important before opening a new position, low spreads are more profitable

I may agree that dealing in volatile assets could be a great way to make money in the trading markets. However, we must also realise the fact that market volatility is one of the most important things we must consider when it comes to trading. When we trade in extremely volatile markets, then we have to understand the fact that price can go anywhere. Volatile markets are the kind of markets where price never remains consistent for a long time and the price jumps in an unexpected manner. This is why don't you think that volatile markets are very risky?

As far as avoiding losses is concerned, risk management strategy could be used if we want to reduce losses. Using a stop loss is also a very good idea. Price action trading should also be considered when we talk about decreasing the chances of losses. We must also understand the concept of support and resistance as well when we plan to trade in financial markets. When we combine all of these factors, we may be able to create a better trading strategy. This is what I am trying to do as of now. I also plan to use indicators as well when it comes to trading.
