Translation (keeping HTML format, no code blocks, no line breaks added): Reasons for Large Losses in Trading LAST
③ Pray for losses and grip
“Maybe it will come back.” “If you cut your losses, you’ll lose.” “This is only a temporary adjustment.” By lining up convenient excuses (the mood) and delaying cutting losses, the result is that you accumulate a small win, then suddenly lose everything in one hit.
Indeed, the classic pattern of a massive loss is here.
If this sounds familiar to you, you won’t be able to win unless you change now.
So, why does this happen?
The answer is simple.
“Because it’s easier that way.”
① It’s a hassle to think about the basis. The mood feels easier.
② If you take profits, you’re released from holding stress and it feels easy.
③ Cutting losses means admitting “your mistake.” Pretending nothing happened feels easier.
A common understanding among beginner traders who want to win is “make money easily.” In fact, I started FX seeking ease myself.
But,
What lies beyond “ease” is exclusion from the market.
I’ve experienced it firmly too, but the trading world is not that sweet. Accumulating “easy choices” will steadily erode your funds.
So how do successful traders stay winning?
The answer is “the opposite”.
They
① Thoroughly think before entry, repeatedly test, and wait for favorable moments.
② Plan profit-taking points in advance, and “be ready to extend” when conditions warrant.
③ If their assumptions crumble, they immediately acknowledge it and have the “capacity” to accept losses.
In short,
The more you lose, the more you choose ease; the more you win, the more you choose the right effort.
Mood trading may feel easy temporarily. But a future built on avoiding effort has no future.
① The effort of thinking ⇒ keep studying and raise knowledge through outputs. ② The effort of waiting ⇒ understand why you buy and wait thoroughly until the basis is solid. ③ The effort of admitting ⇒ traders don’t need cheap pride. Be someone who can admit losses.
Only after overcoming this will there be a future where you are a “survivor trader.”
If you have realized this, read it regularly. 90% of people don’t have this mindset.
