#TheKumcescEntry

This entry reminded me of something every trader eventually learns: a strategy without a stop loss and take profit is not a strategy at all.

Before I took this trade last night, I thought about those near-TP moments in the past — trades that looked perfect, only to reverse and hit my stop. That reflection made one thing clear:

Every strategy needs three pillars to stand on:

1. A reason for entry, grounded in market structure.

2. A stop loss that protects you and should never be adjusted.

3. A take profit that is based on logic, not hope.

Trading isn’t about chasing perfection. It’s about building discipline into your process so that even when a setup doesn’t work, your rules still protect you.
