Too many traders get stopped out and blow accounts because their lot sizes are too bit. A small reversal on the pair and panic sets in because a high percentage of the account is in drawdown. They take the loss and the market ends up going their way in the end. This is not the way to trade! You will make money but ultimately you will face huge losses on your account. The market is designed to play with your emotions and your greed, you need to use this to your advantage. The only way to protect yourself is money and risk management, it’s a fundamental tool and skill required to trade.

While trades are running and protected, or, you're not in the market, best thing to always do is brush up on your skills, your education and backtest!
