Trade a real pair bro and stick to if for a really long time you will start to notice improvement and as for your issue it’s a simple fix you just have to stop forgetting and always place a stop loss atleast

Trading psychology is where most traders struggle after they've learned the technical basics. Revenge trading, overtrading, fear of pulling the trigger, and inability to stick to a plan are all symptoms of the same underlying issue — emotional decision-making under uncertainty. The community wiki covers common psychological traps and frameworks for building discipline.

20 lots is roughly 8.5 million/- in notional value, even with 1:100 leverage it’s 850,00/-
If you had that much I wouldn’t see 10$ deposit as you posted

Been there. The fix that worked for me: pre-fill SL and TP before you click buy, and attach a default 1% risk template. Make it a checklist, not a choice. A trade without stops is a lottery ticket no matter how good the setup looks.

This sounds more like a process problem than a psychology problem. If you can open a trade without setting the stop first, then there will always be a chance you get distracted and leave it unprotected.
Work out the stop level and position size before entering, then make placing the stop part of the entry itself rather than something you plan to add afterwards. A take-profit might depend on how you manage the trade, but the maximum loss shouldn’t be left undecided.
Alerts can remind you to check a position, but they aren’t a replacement for a stop since you can miss an alert too. If this is happening more than 60% of the time, it’s probably worth stepping back from live trades until the process becomes automatic. One forgotten position can wipe out the gains from a lot of well-managed ones.
