Floating is something that becomes a habit for all traders when they enter, but some traders can anticipate that there are those who don't like to cut losses when the balance is threatened from big losses, but there are also traders who allow floating to MC, of course it's very bad, it will have a bad impact on you. our trading journey. So what do you do if you experience fluting whether to cut or lose or add a new open position and hope the price will reverse direction.

The trading system that I currently apply is weekly trading with the OP divided into three stages and the fourth stage is used as the SL area for all open OPs so there is no problem even if you experience floating minus as long as the conditions are still in accordance with the rules that have been set.

If I get floating, it's normal, bro, because it was planned according to the previous trading plan. so it's best before trading, you have to make a trading plan that fits the strategy we use.

Of course it all comes back to the trader because of course every trader has a concept or way to overcome this with the techniques he masters. But for myself, I will not allow floating too long because of course it will greatly affect our trading psychology, therefore I choose to use stop loss and take profit as an alternative to overcoming floating that is too long.

leaving the floating minus for too long will make you frustrated, so it's best if you use a stop loss because by using a stop loss you will be able to get maximum results that can make you calm

let floating minus byang too long will have an impact on our psychology and mental trading. so we should not do this often. if you feel the minus is too much then we should immediately cut loss.

Letting it float for too long makes you more and more uncontrollable, psychological problems and you will not be comfortable seeing it all, therefore you have to quickly make a move where you have to act, is it better to decide or continue

actually holding back plotting minus for a long time will damage the psychology of the book and our health will also be disturbed.

which certainly doesn't seem good or can be considered negative for your overall Open position because when you use holding floating minus excessively then you will find it difficult to do what is called setting a good target

I think it's okay if we hold minus for too long if we really believe the price will reverse direction

Maybe you often experience when holding losses for a long time then you experience a margin call. You should be able to learn from an incident like this so it doesn't happen again

if we experience a long minus floating and we are not ready for it, meaning that we don't plan, this will greatly damage our emotions and psychology even our mentality

This impact will make you more awkward or stressed because you see your position is in a prolonged floating minus and it will not be good for your mental health.

By letting us floting for too long in trading, this could lead to MC because if we were wrong in the analysis, the market could move quickly and take our capital out or experience MC in trading.
