Currency crosses

[FOREX.com]

But the other part of my question is, regardless of whether or not I’m actually buying the currency, the fact Still Remains that my account is in USD. If I trade a cross & the dollar loses value against both of the currencies in that cross, don’t I lose anyway regardless of what actually happens in the actual trade?
