I think you mean losing, not loosing.

Losing streaks happen.  You're certainly not getting any worse. 

Don't keep track of your wins and losses.  Just try to improve a tiny bit each game.

I have noticed I tend to plateau.  After all, you dont know what you dont know! Online I am at 1422, but my favorite is blitz and 1250 seems to be a tough area for me to get by.  Sometimes i even drop to 1050 or so on really bad days.  So I said when I hit 1200 again (which I just did after a horrible week of dropping to 1008) I am going to study.  I have a few books, and I think just general theory will never hurt and ENDGAMES are important.  I need a good black defense as well. 

So think of your weakest points, what are you doing wrong? I noticed I get great position, and crumble in the middlegame, so I started playing slower, thinking more about the consequences of moves beyond what LOOKS good, and things have been better.

Best of luck, I am going to try to not play for a few months, and only study.  I think it will be good to hopefully correct bad habits I unknowingly have built.

I'm also on a bit of a losing streak. It's probably irreversible
