The Trader’s Paradox: Holding Losses, Selling Winners
At the beginning of my trading journey, I noticed something strange about myself.
When a trade was up 5% or 10%, I wasn’t satisfied. I would tell myself:
“Why exit now? Maybe it will reach ×2 or ×3.”
But when a trade was losing, I behaved in the exact opposite way.
I wouldn’t accept the loss and would say:
“I’ll wait a little… maybe the price will go back to where it was.”
The problem is that the market doesn’t work that way.
Small profits I used to let turn into missed opportunities,
and small losses I used to let turn into bigger losses.
Over time, I realized that trading is not just about predicting the direction.
It’s about managing your decisions after entering the trade.
A professional trader doesn’t think this way:
When they win, they know when to take profit.
When they are wrong, they know when to exit quickly.
Because the golden rule of trading is:
Let profits run… and cut losses quickly.
The market doesn’t reward those who simply hope.
It rewards those who manage their risk with discipline.
