In mindset control, only by losing the money that should be lost can one earn the money that should be earned. This is certain.

In trading, especially with profitable positions, watching profits slowly retract without reaching the exit or reversal point of the trading system and being unable to take action is a test and torment for the mind; this situation is too common. In fact, this is not a problem that can be solved in one or two instances but rather a long-term continuous process. Once you understand this point, the psychological barrier becomes easier to resolve. Before the trend of profitable positions has exhausted, the mindset of cashing out too early is extremely wrong and is something that most people often do. If cashing out could let you earn enough money for a lifetime, that would be one thing, but trading does not end after one or two instances; wouldn't you trade again next time?
