Are there any still holding positions that start with 14?

Why do you make small profits but suffer big losses?

Because your stop-loss is not decisive.

Why is the stop-loss not decisive?

Because there have been too many times when you find that after a stop-loss, the price returns to its original position.

You think to yourself, if I don't stop-loss, the price might return, but once you stop-loss, it becomes a realized loss. This kind of psychological expectation leads to indecisiveness in stop-losses, and when a reversal extreme market occurs, you get liquidated.

Why can you only make small profits?

Because you are not decisive enough in holding your gains.

You are so afraid that the money you earned will be given back, you hope that the money you earned can be quickly secured. You finally opened a profitable position +, but under the psychological effect of 'taking profits, fearing drawdowns*, securing gains', you uncontrollably cut off the profitable position. As for the grand market movements afterwards, it has nothing to do with you.

Trading is difficult, it really is difficult. First, you have to overcome technical barriers, then you have to overcome cognitive barriers, you want to achieve unity of knowledge and action, and finally, you have to overcome human nature barriers. It is not easy to get through these three barriers; without painful experiences that leave a deep impression, and without the process of repeatedly denying and rebuilding yourself, it is very difficult to enter the realm of profitability.
