"I took the profit, maybe the loss will turn back..."
Psychological fatigue + financial collapse.
Being quick when making a profit and patient when at a loss... This is not a strategy. This is a model of emotional collapse. And most traders are not even aware of this.
📊A simple example:
• 10 transactions
• 7 of them +50$
• 3 pieces -150$
Result: -100$
So it looks like you're winning, but in reality, you are constantly losing.
Let me open the parentheses:
This behavior is referred to in the literature as "negative expectancy". Even if the win rate is high, as long as average loss > average gain, the system will move you backwards instead of forwards. That is why taking profits early and delaying losses is one of the slowest forms of self-destruction.
Profitable systems do not necessarily have to have a high win rate.
But they do this:
• Loss is closed before it grows.
• The area is recognized for its profit potential.
• The balance between average gain and average loss is maintained.
So the issue is not how many times you win; it is how much you win when you win and how much you give when you lose.
Finally, don't forget this sentence:
Limiting profit and letting loss run free is to slowly die in this market. And those who slowly die always say goodbye with "I was actually doing well."
