is one of the bad attitudes if we often shift the stop loss especially as often as possible because it will interfere with our trading discipline. Besides that, it is like having a stop loss that will make us lose our confidence in determining every trading decision.

do not let us maintain bad habits such as shifting stop loss because in addition to stop loss is the main management also habits like that will not benefit us instead harm.

stop loss must be applied in a disciplined manner and if a trader still shifts his stop loss often means he is not disciplined and violates the trading plan rules so shifting the stop loss is a bad attitude and not to drag on.

Because you dont wanna loss your money but if you have enough balance to hold that floating i think it does not matter but need a long time for waiting that price going back again..

do not let the habit of shifting the stop loss we do because it is not recommended because in terms of risk will increase the potential risk in forex trading.

stop loss only needs to be installed just once, if we doubt then we are not disciplined especially if we shift the stop loss at will which will only cause new doubts so that we have difficulty controlling our psychology and patience.

shifting the stop loss is a bad habit and it must be avoided when we trade and in my opinion the stop loss that we have to install should be a fixed stop loss until the stop loss is touched or until the take profit is touched.

we must apply a stop loss well and fix, unless we use a trailling stop that allows the stop loss to shift but if the TP has been installed we should not be moved let alone often shift it.

shifting the stop loss is not recommended because it includes things that violate discipline in forex trading. In trading we only have the choice of using stop loss or cut loss so we have to make good use of it.

if we do not have the application of stop loss well then we should never use stop loss without calculation because it will make us tend to be unstable and always want to shift the stop loss.

Moving stop losses or moving them is not a good habit, losses can increase. We must be disciplined in every trading strategy including money management that must be applied with high discipline.

shifting the stop loss too often has a big impact on the mental and psychology of trading where traders often do things that can violate trading rules

The habit of changing SL from the original plan is a mistake and should not become a habit because it is bad.
Must be fixed before it becomes a next habit

shifting the stop loss is an undisciplined attitude because we have violated the disciplinary rules that we have set.
