Most traders do it backwards.
They hold a loser and pray it comes back.
And they sell a winner the second it shows a tiny profit.
Flip that.
Cut the loser fast. A small loss is cheap. A big loss kills the account.
Let the winner run. One good runner pays for a bunch of small losses.
Say you have $1,000. You risk $10 per trade and cut it there, no arguing.
One winner runs to +$60. That one win just paid for six small losers.
That's the whole trick. Small losses, big wins. Not the other way round.
Next time a trade goes red, ask yourself one thing. Would I buy it here, right now? If the answer's no, get out.
And when a trade goes your way, don't grab the first few dollars and run. Give it room to breathe.
Losers get cut. Winners get room. That's how accounts stay alive.
