Depends on how large the loss is and why you had the loss. If you get stopped out of a position and take a loss is different than waking up in the morning and realizing you lost a huge % of your bank roll. Especially when you were so sure about the trade. The first type should be no big deal. The later can result in profuse vomiting. If you have not vomited because of a loss on a trade before you have not completed your education yet. That would be your diploma!

First of all, I don't see it as a loss if it's occurred during my first 10 trades, I see it as fees to learn the movements, strategies and the trading. Now if I am still getting returns in a red mark, it makes me conservative to take fewer risks and optimise strategies and trading methods. I have lost many bucks in trading but later I was able to manage to earn good profits, I think it's more about dealing with the situation rather than dealing with the numbers and charts.
A loss cannot be a loss until you sell it at a lower price, no one can prevent the fall of an asset we are backing therefore we must not put our eggs in one basket so we can still continue to trade with other progressive assets. I have different altcoins and I understand the volatility, I instill discipline to myself and I never sell for loses unless if the coin is going to die.

Agree, it's all about managing the risk and diversifying the investments to place returns in safe positions. Diversification helps to allocate the risk over all the investment portfolio and hence even in a case of high loss in one investment, it is recovered in another kind of investment. Spreading the risk always helps in getting secure returns through overall investment portfolio.
Diversifying is the best thing to minimize the risk or almost get rid of the risk because you are not putting all your money in one investment and you are dividing it based on your options. Having information or knowledge is also important so you can diversify well and earn money in the future and not get a loss.
that;s right. well this has been a proven strategy for experienced traders as you won't be depending on a single throw of the dice. I had the mistake of putting everything I have on an altcoin which proved to be a scam back when I was still studying trading and that was a bitter lesson to swallow but I definitely learned a lot from it

When I am losing too much and seen the graph on red,I sold my portfolio so that I may not continue to lose more. I cut my losses, but now learned my lessons. Though its a practice to cut losses, make some research with the said coins. If its a good coins, it will recover in a short span of time. Just invest only on legit and reliable coins,its worth holding it.

It's absolutely fine if someone is losing funds in the first few attempts of his trading as at that time we should focus on learning the behaviour of the market. Yes, one should not keep all his eggs in one basket as it might result in 100% loss (which I learned after doing it). One should also make adequate research before investing. There is a difference between investing in low-performing coin and a scam coin.

If i will have a loss, i just don't think about it very often, i admit it and i accept it that i made i loss because of my faults and wrong moves that leads for having a mistake. If i will entertain my thinking about the loss then i will be on an anger mode which will be my enemy so i just don't entertain it because it can produce more loss.

The only way to deal with a loss is to average your coins and make up your mind to hold for a longer time and it depends upon what kind of coin you are investing,i do always deal with high volume coins and so i do have the confidence to hold for a longer time and recover rather than selling at a loss.

So in trading how do you deal with loss? For example you've invested in an alt and now it has fallen quite hard and you're on the brink of losing all your bitcoin you invested in it.
How do you actually deal with it? Do you wait and keep on waiting in hope that it will bounce back up and return your investment or you sell and get whatever left of your investment?

It depends on the coin. If a coin is a hype, I don't wait until my coin get devalued. However, if I see my coin has a huge support and I believe it has a godo future, i will never stop holding it until I reach my TP.
And most importantly to minimize losses, When you see that then everything goes on a decline, then a quick reaction is needed. But not in the situation with Bitcoin, Why that his son will definitely be big despite the nervous price jumps in the market. You just need to be firm and do not react to falling.

Losses in a trade is certainly normal and should be made in this lesson so that we are always objective in observing and analyzing the market so that the loss does not happen again in the future
Loses cant really be avoided even on the future but somehow can be reduced if we do already learned from our past mistakes because lose makes us learn everytime we do such thing and mold us to be a better trader or good to a certain thing when do time pass us by.It may be frustrating at first since we don't really like to lose up money but we should really treat it as a stepping stone.
That's true , Failing and loses are charge to experience so the next time we trade or to have an investments we knowledgeable with the things that may happen. If we don't try and always avoid failing to deal with our losses well we were be stuck up on the things that we are and we will don't achieve anything in life.

I thing it defers so many parts. In trading marketplace there very important to choose the correct and potential coin cause most Altcoins lose their value over time and that's normal. And it's so hard to overcome after the big losing. Anyone can be extremely down the bad mood, but It's become normal a little time span.

Loss is part of the game, if you can live with it you're ok

So how do you deal with it? Well I'm dealing with it just the normal way, I know that in trading is also a gamble.

Most of the time I'm having decent profit on it but I'm accepting the fact that any time can be a worst trade for me.

Just be ready and accept if you loss, that's fine, real men accepts defeat.
Agree, you have to be ready for the outcome whatever it may be, im dealing with it by moving on and learn from those experience, i dont dwell in the situation which cant bring any good to me instead i will take it as motivation.

When you get profit in trading then you will get money which you can use or enjoy or save for future, when you get loss in trading then you will get experience which will be useful in the future. So either ways you will gain something while trading. So learn and earn.

Well said Trading would teach many lessons if you make profit or loss you will learn a new thing every time. That is why people do trading if they lose money in trading also. We can handle our loss in trading. But we can not handle loss in Gambling. It is a very tough job to handle loss in gambling.

In losses, it might be a total loss or you sell and get whatever comes out.
When a total loss comes (loss in risk taken) is when you still try to wait if there will be a bounce up of price to sell it off or it ends up crashing totally, at such a dying point of the coin you sell off everything (risk taken) to get back anything left than it all to go.
