How do you stick to your trading plan when you are losing.
This is a strategy that has worked very well on demo before you went on live trade?

when we make losses we cant focus our logic and analysis , we try to recover the losses , for that reason we trade over and over , ultimately lost almost whole equity.
What you should do depends on what has changed between the demo trading sessions and the live trading sessions. A really good demo account will very closely reflect the behaviour of the underlying market so there should be no difference at any time between the demo bid/ask quotes and the live bid/ask quotes.
So are you doing anything different with the live trades?
Are you trading intraday?
While technically intraday AND end of day are no different to trade, in reality keeping discipline intraday is much harder (for most people)
The fact you can sleep on it with end of day trading can bring you back to a rational mindset.
If it’s all happening too quickly with smaller timeframes it’s easy to fall into fight or flight mode, creating all sorts of discipline issues.
Well something seems to be wrong then, you need to either review your trading plan or maybe you just went live so now emotions are taking a toll on you.
I’m sure reviewing your strategy or plan will help you find a solution.
thx for sharing this info
I try to do an analysis of my plan, and evaluate its weaknesses in order to understand the reasons why I am at a loss.
I think your plan should also cover scenarios for when you’re losing cause then otherwise it will be an incomplete plan. And if you have that covered then it’s just a matter of having confidence that you already know what’s going to happen or what you’re going to do either way. 
The having problems because you have not accepted that the chance of losing on any one trade is very real
One trick I use is to think every trade is going to lose.
Provided your strategy is sound that is.
And as I eluded to in a previous post if your intraday trading there is a strong likelihood your lizard brain is over riding your logical executive brain.
