We recommend that we don't hold the position of Loss too long, because holding the loss position can make our emotions and psychology become uneasy

Of course holding back loss positions in trading will be quite dangerous, because it can make our emotions not controlled, but if it is in accordance with our planning and management, it is not a problem

always like to hold a position there will be something that is not good because of defeat or floating minus should not be held too much When you use it then you will and may be MC it's better you use a safety such as stop loss

holding a position for too long is also not psychological, we will also not be well controlled, therefore we must be able to cut the risk appropriately

I like to keep a journal.  I write down my reasons for entering into an investment and my expectations.  Later, if the investment does not perform as expected, I review my own words to se if/how I can justify holding that position.  This removes revisionist thinking and emotion from decision making when it come time to reevaluate a losing position.

In my personal opinion, it's a psychological problem. Because basically in every human being, no one wants to lose, so when psychologically holding Lost, everyone will be able to because it hasn't reached the BEP point, but when the color changes to green, the subconscious will move us to immediately carry out the execution. basically everyone does not want to lose it and it has entered the subconscious based on personal experience.

Yes.  It is very much psychological.  As much as we like to think our decisions are made objectively, most decisions emotional.  They just need to "feel" right.

Those who often hold losses for a long time are traders who trade by means of martinggle and averaging, and this is of course not good because it has been proven that this technique often makes us margin calls.

holding a losing position is a very big mistake because if you always hold a losing position or in this case hold a floating minus then you will certainly never succeed and will never feel what a consistent advantage is, therefore never hold a losing position in a row -in a row

Hold the position that loss must be with a mature plan, and must be with a good money management, without it it will be very dangerous

Don't you always hold a losing position, it's just the same as you lose your money on purpose, so it's better when you know that your position is wrong, it's better to break the loss

holding a loss position must be accompanied by a good mentality, money management which has indeed taken into account and planning that has been made at the beginning, so that it won't be a problem

holding the wrong position is sometimes needed but also if possible not too often because if you always win a losing position with a lot of minuses then what I'm afraid you will experience is severe losses
