Forex trading is largely a speculative activity where you need to make your market predictions and execute trades in the hopes of generating a profit. Although losses are a natural part of online trading, there are a number of measures you can adopt to improve your chances of a successful trade.

Before you enter the trading platform and open a trade you first need to analyse the market using fundamental or technical analysis (or a combination of the two). Once you have performed market analysis and feel confident to open a trade, you should then place your stop loss and take profit orders in order to protect your forex trading account once the order is live.

Why use Stop Loss & Take Profit Orders when trading?

Stop loss and take profit orders are used because the forex market is an incredibly volatile place where prices rise and fall sporadically and often unexpectedly. A stop loss order closes the trade once the price drops to a certain level while a take profit order closes the order once the price rises beyond the point that you predetermined.

Stop loss and take profit orders therefore form a protective barrier around your trading account, preventing it from being completely wiped out in the event of unstable price movements.

Closing that Winning or Losing Trade

Having huge profits on an open position is a good feeling for any trader and can ignite a sense of confidence in them that they didn’t possess before. During this time it is not unusual to let your emotions get the better of you. This can quickly prevent you from letting go of a trade, whether because you are scared, hopeful or because you are greedy.

Decisions made during forex trading should never be based on emotion. They should be based on objective market analysis and current market conditions.

For example, if the current market is strongly trending then it usually makes sense to keep your position open until you see a clear signal to exit. By setting a trailing stop or stop loss order, this ensures that your trade is closed at a reasonable level before the trend experiences a reversal.

You should also look out for opposing price action. If you see a large bearish pin during a rising market, this is usually a signal to close your trade and take your profits. Likewise, if you have already made notable profits and see support and resistance levels, this is another clear indicator that the time is right to take your profits.

On the other hand, if the market is pointing in the right direction and you see signals that reaffirm a trend, then you may wish to consider staying in the market a while longer.

Whatever decisions you take with regards to closing a winning or losing trade, it’s critical that you have a reliable risk management strategy in place that will protect your account from any market activity. Learning how to correctly read the market – instead of trading based on your emotions, is a guaranteed way to enhance your trades and generate stronger profits.

Don't Blow Up Your Account: Why Stop Loss and Take Profit Orders Are Your Lifeline in Forex

Trading Forex isn’t about being psychic—it’s about not screwing up too badly. Seriously. Even if you somehow called the Euro crash of '08, you’ve still got to dodge a thousand other bullets. And that’s where risk management comes in—aka “the grown-up stuff no one wants to talk about.”

Before you even think about clicking “Buy” or “Sell,” there’s one basic rule: do your homework. Maybe you’re glued to the news, tracking inflation reports, elections, a wild tweet from some finance exec. Cool. Or maybe you’re more of a chart warrior, analyzing candlestick patterns at 2AM like you’re hunting for the Holy Grail. Hell, the best traders mix both. But don’t skip this part unless you also enjoy burning money for entertainment.

Now—here’s where most traders flame out: they get so stoked about picking the right pair, they forget to plan how to bail out when it all goes sideways. Spoiler: it will go sideways.

### Stop Loss & Take Profit: Your Safety Net (Seriously, Use Them)

Forex is wild. Like, “Trump just tweeted” wild. One minute you’re up, next minute your account’s vanished faster than your willpower at an all-you-can-eat buffet. So these two little beauties—Stop Loss and Take Profit orders—are basically your seatbelt.

- Stop Loss = the panic button. If the market turns against you (which, let’s be honest, happens more often than not), this shuts it down automatically. You take a small L instead of busting your whole account. Way better.

- Take Profit = the exact opposite. You set your target, and when your trade hits that sweet spot, it cashes out. No more “just a little bit higher, then I’ll close it.” Because greed is an account killer.

Bottom line: they’re your way of sticking to your plan, not your feelings. Don’t mess around with this.

### Your Worst Enemy? Your Own Brain

We’ve all been there. You’re watching the pips roll in, telling yourself you just might quit your day job. Next thing you know, the tide turns and your win evaporates ‘cause you got cocky or scared or both. Or maybe you’re stubbornly clinging to a tanking trade, praying for a miracle. Good luck with that.

That’s why you need rules, not vibes. Maybe you use a trailing stop on a hot trend—good call. Or if you spot a reversal pattern (maybe it’s a bearish pin bar, maybe your spidey sense tingles), just smack that exit button and bank the profit. Nobody ever went broke taking profits. Well, almost nobody.

### TL;DR: Don’t Trade Like a Maniac

You’re not gonna be right every time—nobody is. People who say otherwise are full of it, or they want to sell you a “can’t lose” Forex strategy for $999.

Plan your trades. Set your stops. Lock your profits. Stick to your game plan like your rent depends on it (because sometimes it actually does). Read the damn charts, trust your setup, and for the love of all that’s green—don’t trade on emotion.

Disciplined, boring, and consistent > one lucky win and a dozen reckless losses. Honestly, that’s how you keep your trading account alive and actually grow it over the long haul.
