Traders are usually hedonists and like to show the bright side, but what about the biggest failures? how much have you lost most in one single trade? I start the walk of shame: 10k€ in a single trade in September
anyone else?

"10k euro" in single trade? OMG what happened exactly. What was the size of trade?
I have lost small accounts of $100 but never a big amount.

it was a result of a very bad money management approach. However, 90% of that money was gained from trading, so we can say the market got back what I stole from it :-) Basically I let the emotions come in and started doubling the position after the price further moved where I was thinking it was not possible to move anymore. But, you know, we are here to learn! :-)

This is one question I can’t answer but the fact is that I have lost a lot to kill a man but even in all I took it as an experience and I can say today and no when am gaining or not.

Good... u made almost no loss in learning forex. Traders make big losses during their learning process. Davidalfonsi wrote about its loss in first post. It is just an example of how much a trader can loose even in a single tade.

Disconnection sometimes causes big problems. That is why tight SL strategy should be used in order to avoid such losses. It is more important if you r living where internet or electricity services r not good.
Stick to your rules

For me my biggest loss so far has been of 335 $ which happened in a single trade and though I had a huge account balance and was trading in very small ot size accordingly and it happened due to bank intervention .
