Everytime I experience losses in trading, I calm myself by turning my attention into other things so that I cant think deeply the losses and the mistakes I did. When I was still new I cant handle losing my money and it makes me depress, however as time goes by I learned to accept the unfortunate situation and do better the next time. Because in the end I realized through that losses you will learn something. Its best to only use the amount you can afford to lose so it wont be hard to accept having losses.

That makes sense, I never thought about it that way. Trading is not the only part of life and when you end up with a loss it is a very bad feeling, you could figure out ways to see it as a good thing or you could try to just suppress that feeling, but focusing on something totally different is a great idea. I personally never tried it but from now on I am going to try it as much as I can.

To start off with watching a movie after a loss could be a great thing, whenever I feel sad because of something, I try to watch a series on netflix and I am usually watching so many and listed so many I barely ever run out, and it helps me forget them, and loss in trading is one of them that I never considered. So on my next ever loss on trading, I will just go to netflix and start watching a show, that will probably help me too.
