Who hasn't experienced this?
You see the chart, you get excited, everything points to it taking off.
You enter.
And it barely drops a bit…
💀 The shout to the chart:
No, no, no! Don't hit my stop, I’ll lose a ton there!
😂
But if that stop is right at the support… and still, if it touches it, you lose more than you should...
It's not the market that's wrong.
It's you operating with poor risk management.
So, what can you do?
👉 The stop should be placed where the trade no longer makes sense.
Not where you “emotionally hold on.”
👉 If that stop implies a very large loss:
reduce the position size.
👉 Is the support far away?
Adjust the leverage.
And if it still doesn't work,
it's better to wait for another entry.
Trading is not an obligation. Taking care of yourself is.
🎯 Practical conclusion:
The risk you accept per trade should be clear from the start.
And your entry size should be calculated from there, not from desire.
