Why do you lose with take-profit and stop-loss? The true nature of FX “just a little more”
It was almost a profit just a little more.
It was almost saved just a little more.
Even so,
the result was a loss.
How many trades like this have there been?
The entry wasn't wrong.
The direction was correct.
Yet it still loses.
Why is that?
Because the way you use take profit and stop loss is off.
Many people,
think they have set take profit and stop loss.
But in reality, it's different.
While watching the market,
they decide on the spot.
This is how take profit ends up.
"It might go a little further."
"Taking profit here feels early."
So they delay taking profit.
On the other hand, this is how stop loss ends up.
"Maybe it will come back."
"It's a waste to cut here."
So they delay stopping loss as well.
As a result, what happens?
Take profit is delayed,
and stop loss is delayed as well.
This is the truth of losing by a hair's breadth with "just a little more."
It is often said.
"Take profit early, stop loss early."
But you can't do that.
Why not?
Because you are making judgments.
Looking at the market,
imagining the future,
and deciding on the spot.
At that moment,
it's already off course.
The problem isn't knowledge.
It's in the structure that makes you judge.
Pros fix this.
- Fix the take profit line
- Fix the stop loss line
- When it hits, just execute without thinking
That's all there is to it.
It's simple, but
this is what breaks the least.
Don't hesitate on take profit.
Don't delay stop loss.
In other words,
do not change your decision at the last moment.
If you can do just that,
trading becomes steadily stable all at once.
Losing on take profit and stop loss isn’t
a problem with your entry.
It was a problem with the ending.
That’s why what’s necessary isn’t experience or grit.
It’s deciding the ending in advance.
