Trading—no one is born loving to lose, yet you have to learn to shake hands with losses and make peace with them.

In the market, there is no myth of never having to cut losses; stop-loss is, in fact, an inherent cost of trading. What truly brings people down is never a single stop-loss—rather, it’s uncontrolled heavy position sizing and impulsive adding, which cause losses to slip out of your control. In the end, you panic, lose your composure, and everything falls apart.

Before placing an order, polish your logic, your price levels, and your risk management—this is the “North Star” of trading. After placing an order, let go of obsession and just execute mechanically. The moment you hold a position, your human mind naturally tilts; you unconsciously magnify the upside and downplay the downside. Even the most clear-headed people can still be dragged along by emotions. So don’t make crucial decisions while holding a position. The calm you have when you’re in cash, not in the market, is the most dependable judgment.

Taking profit is the same. The long-lasting way is to secure gains and let it be enough. Many times, you’ve clearly reached your expected target, but greed tugs at you and won’t let you leave the trade—until the market reverses, profits get given back, even turning into losses. The collapse of your mindset is more damaging than the losses themselves. You will never earn money beyond your understanding. Profits above expectations are simply a gift from the market—there’s no need to be attached to them. Take profits in batches, and keep a core position to deal with and hedge against the next phase of the move; this not only preserves certainty, but also leaves room for the market to play out.

The essence of trading is a game between rules and your own human nature. Only by being able to accept losses calmly, restrain greed, and always stick to your trading plan can you move steadily and go far in this market.
