Thank you for noticing. And yes, this is considering that one has put the stop loss reasonably. Then it is about moving it to more loss, "not accepting the situation". And then, as we see in the thread, it's not actually "not accepting the ...

A working strategy is crucial, and as you say "if your strategy actually works, there is absolutely nothing to be emotional about", but it happens. In the part where you say that "They move stop losses because they feel that their strategy is ...

The Schroedinger cat? That is a very interesting topic on its own... how nothing is settled until we observe it... or translating that to trading - we could say how no position is a losing position until we don't give it that meaning. The ...

Yes this is about moving the stop loss in minus, and the example part with the casino budget is very well said.

Hedging on the loosing side, turned out in more losses for me. But hedging on a winning position is different, in my opinion. It helps locking in profits at the highest peak, and in case of a pullback that can really pull back to BE, you don't leave ...
