What separates winners from losers in the market?

Stan Weinstein nailed it: "How you handle a losing position makes you a winner."

Digging in when a trade goes south is pure ego. The stock doesn't care about your cost basis. If the setup breaks, cut it and move on. There's always another streetcar coming.

How you handle losses matters more than how you handle wins. Winners take small losses fast. Losers hold and hope.

The best traders aren't the ones who never lose — they're the ones who lose small and move on without attachment.
