Cutting your finger hurts, but cutting your hand? That's a disaster. In trading, if you don't cut your losses early, small setbacks can become catastrophic. Think of it like this: a stop-loss is like cutting your finger – it's a small pain now, but it saves your hand (and your portfolio) from bigger damage later. Practical advice? Set those stop-losses, don't let emotions cloud your judgment, and know when to walk away from a bad trade. Your trading journey will thank you.
