Have you ever wondered why losing money 💰 often feels more painful than accepting a loss? When we incur losses, we can use many methods to shift the blame to the market and avoid taking responsibility. However, when we see that we are not making money, we cannot blame the market. The market hasn't done anything; it simply provides opportunities. But regardless of the reason, we are unable to properly utilize those opportunities. In other words, we cannot eliminate the pain in a rational way.
