Morning traders—another chance to level up your game.
Here's a question worth pondering: why do most traders hold their stop losses like it's their last dollar, yet somehow can't sit tight when profits are on the table?
Think about it—disciplined execution on the downside, but panic on the upside? That psychological gap between cutting losses quickly and letting winners run is what separates consistent traders from the rest. The math works against greed, but most never let it.

Really? Cutting losses is even more decisive than eating meat. The psychological price difference is incredible.

You're absolutely right, my mental resilience almost collapsed... When losing money, I protect my stop-loss as if my life depended on it; when making money, I get nervous and hesitate to cut the position. Truly unbelievable.

Basically, it's a human nature issue. When cutting losses, you're nervous; when seeing a rise, you're eager to cash out... Why is the mindset so different?

To be honest, the hardest part is mental preparation... Holding tightly to stop-losses and protecting them, while being hesitant to take profits, is indeed a common problem for most people.
