Cutting Your Losses Early

Don't be stuck in letting losses run and making winning trades cut earlier

Avoid moving stop loss or not having an stop loss completely, over riding your system

When your trade is in a loss , you recall the positive outcomes more easily your brain becomes optimistic

In a winning trade we become risk averse
In a losing trade we are risk seeking

It's completely natural

Choice to move SL and recover or leave it limits loss. Choices depend on memory, memories of trading reversing back into profit are positive and prioritized

It's not a reflection of discipline it's based on the information in your brain it's a memory issue not a discipline issue it's natural human behaviour

Occasionally moving your SL will work but in the long run you'll experience a catastrophic loss

Document your whole system and follow it
