Stop-loss really is a bit like a breakup: dragging it out without making things clear, small losses on the books slowly grind into big losses, and your emotions are still kept “trapped” there. To put it simply, admitting the loss sooner actually saves on interest and keeps you calmer—at least you can pull your attention back to look at other opportunities. Lately it’s been the stage where hardware wallets are out of stock again, and phishing links are flying around everywhere; the people who lose more and get more “hot-headed” are the ones most likely to make a slip—mistake a move… What I fear most isn’t losing money, but losing control: it’s not the strategy making the decisions, it’s emotions hitting the confirm button. For now, whether it’s voting or trading, I force myself to finish reading the original text/rules before I take action.
