Some traders gripe about taking a string of small losses because they watched the stocks bounce back. They Monday morning quarterback, “If I had just held, I’d still be in.”
Here’s the cold, unforgiving truth:
You can take small drawdowns, feel stupid, and still walk away with your capital—and your future—intact.
Or you can hold, hope, and on the rare occasion, blow up.
If choosing between those two outcomes is a struggle or if you are one who allows the result to justify the means, then let’s be honest—trading may not be the profession for you.
If you're not feeling like an idiot OFTEN, you're not managing risk.
Get used to it!
