And this is exactly the reason why you can't close a deal with a stop and turn it into a disaster. The most disturbing thing in this story is that sometimes such losers manage to roll back and close a position after a huge loss in profit. After a few such rollbacks, you experience a positive reinforcement of destructive behavior: "If I move the stop lower and endure a bit, then the price might turn around and go where it needs to." It is hope that turns a novice into a hopeless gambler, draining deposit after deposit.
The only way to fight this is to create a positive reinforcement of the negative scenario in your mind. That is, instead of the mindset: "I earned – I'm great," you need to reinforce the mindset "I closed the deal with a system stop – I'm great." This is done like this: you open, for example, 10 completely random deals without grounds, set a short stop-loss, and wait for it to trigger. In other words, all 10 deals should be closed by the stop-loss according to your risk management outlined in the trading system. Gradually, your brain will get used to negative emotions during systematic losses and will start to perceive them as the norm.
If you are particularly obsessed with gambling and have a long history of dragging losses, then it may take thousands of such deals, stretched over months of self-flagellation and self-pity, to reformat your troubled mind. But there is no other way: either you will manage to break yourself and learn to trade systematically, or you will freeze as a drunken bum on the heating main, hiding from debts.
