Retail investors who don’t know how to stop loss will forever just be someone else’s ATM.
Are you also like this:
Clearly seeing the right direction, but ended up making a loss?
Once you stop loss, it rebounds; if you don’t stop loss, it blows up?
Make a profit and run, hold on during a loss, and in the end, your net worth goes to zero?
Stop deceiving yourself,
You’re not incapable of making money,
You just haven’t established a 'systematic risk control'!
Today, no metaphysics, just clarify three things,
You’ll understand why professional players can consistently make profits:
✅ 1. Stop loss and take profit settings: not an option, it’s a bottom line!
Every order must set a stop loss, even if you are only using 1x leverage.
Suggestion: automatic stop loss at 2% loss, don’t wait for yourself to manually click 'close position'!
What about taking profits? It should be done in phases:
✔ Take profit at 1%, cash in half for security.
✔ For the rest, observe the trend continuation, can move the stop profit.
Remember: your biggest enemy is not the market, it’s your hesitation!
✅ 2. Position management: not heavily invested is the toughest discipline.
Never put all your faith on a single trade.
✔ Only use 10%-15% of total capital for each trade,
✔ Split and diversify among different currencies and directions,
✔ Long and short hedging, pairing main and secondary positions.
What you're afraid of is not 'wrong direction',
What you should fear is 'losing everything on a mistake'.
✅ 3. Emotional management: greed + impatience = double disaster.
Profits keep coming, start expanding with leverage;
Getting slapped in the face repeatedly, start getting anxious and open positions recklessly.
Result: total defeat.
✅ Set a daily maximum loss limit, such as 5% of total capital.
Once touched, no matter what happens, stop!
True experts are not those who win the most consecutively,
but those who understand that 'stop loss + pause' is how to survive longer.
I have used this system strategy with my followers for more than a year,
Almost everyone who flipped their account relied on it, while those who blew up almost never used it.
If you want to make money, first learn not to lose;
If you want to flip your account, first learn to control!
