Losing $1,000 doesn't hurt as much as making $1,000 feels good.


It hurts about twice as much.
That 2:1 asymmetry isn't weakness.
it's wired into the human brain, measured and replicated for 40 years.
And it quietly runs your trading:
You cut winners early to lock in the "good feeling."
You hold losers too long to avoid the "bad feeling."
Both are your brain optimizing for emotion, not money.
