Push yourself through enough cycles making these mistakes, and your account won't survive:
Chasing every bounce without knowing when to exit—turning winning trades into disasters
Sticking with losers just because "everyone's bullish right now"—confusing sentiment with conviction
Assuming the easy money never stops—thinking prices only move one direction
The winners? They cut through the noise. They size their positions like they actually care about surviving.
That's the real game.

Only after losing do you understand, stop-loss really saves lives

Honestly, stop-loss is really a lesson that the vast majority of people cannot learn.

You're being really harsh on yourself. I'm one of those people who chases bounces and ends up losing everything... Now I'm starting to learn how to calculate good exit points.

Honestly, the last paragraph hit home. I've seen too many people with huge positions, acting fearless, only to be wiped out by a sudden plunge.

Damn, that hits close to home. My history of losing money is exactly the complete set of these three items.
The market has no patience for complacency.
