The Three Realms of Stop Loss: From Surviving to Making Big Money, 90% of People Stay in the First Realm and Cannot Break Through!
First Realm: Admit Defeat—From Resistance to Wearing the "Life-Saving Armor"
No longer seeing stop loss as a slap in the face, but rather like putting on a bulletproof vest before heading out—accepting it as a standard part of trading. Even if unwilling, understanding that this is the bottom line for survival. Crossing this threshold means stepping into the world of trading.
Second Realm: Quick Blade—Slash Upon Trigger, Without a Hint of Hesitation
Not just accepting, but being able to "execute instantly". As soon as the rules are set, immediately stop loss, without entanglement or regret. Understanding that stop loss is not a loss, but rather preserving capital for the next opportunity, is the key to transitioning from "surviving" to "thriving steadily".
Third Realm: Guarding and Hunting—Fewer Stop Losses, Winning by Waiting
Having fewer stop losses is more important than knowing how to stop loss. Begin to be selective about opportunities, only seizing high-probability trades, refusing frequent trading. Experts win by waiting, not by being busy. Keeping positions light as a norm, occasionally going heavy, but never fully invested, relying on patience to sift through and find the rare gems.
Stop loss is not about technique, it's about crushing human nature! Treating it as a "necessary cost", rather than a failure, is how one steps into the professional threshold. The ability to execute a stop loss is instinct, while waiting for opportunities is a skill. In the end, trading is not just about technique, but about understanding and character.
