My biggest loss as I can recall was around 50% on a single trade. It was my second account and I still couldn't handle my feelings. It was on GBPUSD and I lost again almost the half of my little saved money.
Although I can clearly recall my biggest win, which was happened to my first account, it was a Hungarian stock, KEG. I won almost around 25% on that trade and I was QUITE happy. The funny thing is, a few weeks later I rebought the stock after a rough sell-off, and later I had to sell those with a -10% result.

I don't know the percentages percent-wise by heart. But as for the losses I have lost 100% of the account many times iwth a single trades.
As for wins, I have made already 150-200% on single trades.

My first account of $100 was finished on very first day. $100 was my own savings and I promised myself never to trade again. But started again

Yes. Forex is really addicting. I think this is because of the "greed" factor in human beigns

I can still remember my initial deposit and a winning of around $70 on my first trade. I won around 8 out 10 trades initially. I was so glad and excited that it cannot be explained in words. But all this excitement ended when my loosing streak started. I cant remember any big loss but a streak of small losses blew my my account.

Yes, winning at the start of your trading career is really dangerous because you may feel trading is EASY. Same happened to me.
After a few weeks Oanda demoing I won a lot of pips (it was just luck and freaking big leverage) and a few days later I have deposited all my saved money (not was a serious money tho).
Should I continue, or you already know what was the end?:)

I made 120 pips Long AUD/USD on my first trade and I never had that problem.
Though I had some problems when I made 963% profit in 2 weeks. But it was a matter of time for me to recognnize it was just a matter of luck. I never even tried to do it again =)
