Yes.
But did you build your account at a good level from nothing or nearly? If not maybe that could have triggered and weight on yourself.
Do you think also that you would not have those consecutive 7 losses if your stakes were more adequate to yourself?
I look back and realise - i had compounded too quickly and was not mentally tuned to handle larger losses etc - I did not have thousands of wins behind me at the time and so was in new "territory" - and pressure got to me.
Nowadays I have ways around this. If I have 3 consecutive losses - i have an hour out and make sure my next trade as a stop in at least 1 pip of profit after entry - so to make sure I break the loss sequence .
The mind is the problem - believe me - well it is for say 90%+ of all traders.
If you have say a $500k capital account a $5k loss is still in your comfort zone etc - ie relative
If you lose $5k on a $15 or $20k account - it will just give you lots of negativity and effect you normal trading ability etc etc
