There is a particularly interesting phenomenon in the trading market—whether you're a novice or an experienced trader, everyone tends to be hindered by the same issue, which is reluctance to cut losses. To be honest, I have experienced this myself; when I see my account losing money, I wonder if I can hold on a little longer, but the more I hold, the deeper the losses become.



But on the other hand, this actually reflects a deeper problem. If you can't control your greed, it's very difficult to achieve truly stable returns. There are no permanently profitable experts in the market unless your capital is large enough to withstand any fluctuations—in other words, retail traders and institutions operate with completely different strategies.

So what should ordinary people do? The only way is clear: **Learn to cut losses**. This is not some profound knowledge; it's about discipline. At the same time, you must also control the size of your positions—don't go all-in at once. Suppress your desires and take it step by step. When risk management is in place, making money will come naturally.

This is the gambler's mentality—holding on once turns into holding on twice, and eventually the account explodes.

You're so right. Stop-loss is really the easiest thing to talk about but the hardest to do. When holding a position, your mind is full of luck and hope.

That was really harsh, hitting the nail on the head. I'm the kind of fool who still wants to buy the dip when I see prices falling, only to get trapped badly.

Stop-loss is really a practice; it sounds simple but is extremely difficult to implement.

Setting stop-losses is easy to talk about but really feels like hell to implement.
