😭 "Why Do I Always Hold Losing Trades
 But Never the Winners?"

I used to ask myself this after almost every trade:

“Why am I sitting on losing positions for hours


while closing winners after just 5 minutes?”

I thought I was cursed.

But the truth? It was just a pattern — a common one among traders without a real plan.

đŸ”„ The Harsh Reality I Had to Face

Stop loss ≠ risk management.

Yep — I used to think that just using stop losses meant I was managing risk.

Wrong.

If your stop is based on fear instead of structure, here’s what happens:

❌ You place stops too tight — and get stopped out too early.

❌ You let losing trades run — hoping they'll “recover.”

❌ You react to fear, not data.

🧠 Why You Cut Winners and Hold Losers

It’s not bad luck — it’s lack of conviction.

And conviction only comes from clarity.

If you’re trading without:

A view of the higher time frame

A mapped-out market structure

A directional bias based on momentum


Then you're flying blind.

You’ll panic on small drawdowns and cling to bad trades "just in case."

✅ Here’s How I Fixed It:

Zoom out: Use higher time frames to define the trend and key zones.

Let structure guide your stops — not your emotions.

Pre-plan your entries, exits, and take-profits.

No revenge trades. No hoping. Stick to the plan.

The truth is:

The market doesn’t care. But it does punish hesitation and emotional trading.

Once I started treating trades like strategic executions — not emotional events — everything changed.

I stopped clinging to losers.

I started riding winners with clarity and confidence.
