Profit and loss in trading is general condition, no any trader they can trade without losing trades, this is part in trading that sometimes inevitable, what we can do is control these risk with proper way using stop loss or hedging strategy and good analysis trading

Accumulated loss is indeed often greater than profit accumulation because most traders often experience loss compared to profit and also not all traders use risk reward ratios that can usually be effective in maximizing profit accumulation in trading.

If we believe in the risk reward ratio that we use, even though the amount of loss is more but the accumulation of profits will be greater, that is what can be used as a guideline for successful traders and indeed the fact in trading the amount of loss will be more frequent than the amount of profit.

Actually we do not have to focus on these problems, we need to think about how to maximize profits and minimize losses in our trading. With us can find these solutions, the problem in trading will be solved.

Loss and profit are opportunities with equal probabilities of 50 and 50 so we cannot depend or rely on probability because in general the total loss will always be more, that's why traders use a risk reward ratio strategy where the profit target is always greater than the stop loss.

Is that 76.1% accurate in describing the trader loss condition, sir. In my opinion the greater percentage of traders fail than successful traders. There are indeed more loss traders because of unstable psychology, in my opinion.

This fact is undeniable that in any trading we make transactions, loss will always occur more often, even though we only guess or even use an analysis that we feel is quite correct.

it is a fact, if profit is always greater than loss, surely all trad will gamble because the profit opportunity is greater. I do not know because of what could be like that, maybe indeed in this world there will always be a greater chance of loss.

Loss often appears more often than profit even though traders do random and no trading, just guessing, so it can be a lesson for us to always apply MM and RM well.

loss can indeed be minimized therefore we must always apply risk management well so that we can avoid the risk of large losses and it is a shield if the fact is that loss always occurs more frequently than profit.

loss is absolute while profit is like hope so we must prioritize loss with risk management over profit targets.

the fact is like that because I have already proven trading without analysis and the amount of loss is indeed more than profit, so risk reward ratio and stop loss are very necessary.

loss is indeed more common even though we have implemented risk management well, but that is the fact, so we must use better strategies such as risk reward ratios or trailing stops so that potential profit can be maximized.

in my opinion it's just a perception because losses can be minimized and profits can be maximized so by using a good strategy it could be a system of greater profits than the loss.

loss is often a problem in trading and in fact loss is the most frequent compared to profit even though it has been tried in various ways and strategies. But if we want to try the actual loss can be minimized and profit can be maximized properly.
