Loss aversion: Why do you always rush to sell winning trades, but stubbornly hold onto losing ones?

📈 You’ve just made a little profit—after a slight pullback, you quickly close the position, afraid the gains will fly away.
📉 When you lose money, and price breaks below the support level, you don’t run—instead you hold on tightly, expecting a miracle to happen.
That’s a human weakness: loss aversion. With the same amount lost, the pain is 2.5 times the joy brought by profits.
How to overcome it?
1️⃣ Move the stop-loss: After your profit exceeds a certain percentage, move your stop-loss up to above the entry price. Then you’ll never be in a losing position, and your mindset will naturally stabilize.
2️⃣ Take profit in batches: Don’t always try to sell at the absolute top. Close half first, and let the remaining position run.
3️⃣ Accept “imperfect”: Don’t aim to sell at the highest point. As long as the trade fits your system, even if you make a little less, it’s still a successful trade.
