Cutting Winners Short

  • Reasons
    • Pre-occupied by losses, especially losses accumulated in the day.
    • Want to turn the running losses to break-even or positive first, before doing trades to make money, which is illogical.
    • Afraid that whatever small profits will go away.
  • Solutions
    • Don’t look at the running P&L during the day.
    • Exit only when stopped out.
    • When you feel like getting out, ask yourself, if your original reason for taking the trade still valid? is the trend still valid? If yes, stay in the trade.
