it's because our mentality is still weak and we don't know which regrets are behind or indulging in lust, so there are still many traders who often hold floating minus which does not result in greater losses.

Mental because they do not want to lose so they are able to withstand floating minus but when profit is always fast take the decision to take profit. the main problem is the mental trader

indeed I often experience it, I often hold floating minus compared to floating plus even I never let the floating plus enlarge even though my analysis tends to be correct.

I also experienced events like agan when floating minus we could hold it strong but when we were in profit it seemed to want to finish quickly ... after I explored it turned out to be related to psychological trading where when floating minus happened we still hoped the market would return to we op and often we ignore that the market is unpredictable or unpredictable alias ... my advice is always to use the appropriate lot to take into account the resilience of our account

My tips are don't focus on floating minus but focus on the risk reward ratio that you apply so you won't be disappointed even though the stop loss is touched before compared to the target profit.

The trader feels forced to hold the floating minus when the psychology is confined and does not look forward, especially the risk that will be even greater if the trader continues to hold the floating minus.

When experiencing floating minus will interfere with psychology, so if you can not control will always withstand losses because they do not want to lose. and when floating plus always wants to take it even though the trend conditions are still favorable.

Floating minus is very stressful for psychologists, especially since the losses are already big, surely traders think they will spend it all. to solve this problem must stop loss and target profit.

Indeed mental is the problem, fear of losing profit does not want to hold it and the feeling of wanting to return the capital so that it holds losses. This is common with novice traders, because they are not mentally strong plus a lack of trading skills.

Traders will find it heavier to cut losses than hold a profit position because of the urge to profit and because of excessive fear.

because we still want a very big profit without thinking about the risks that must be faced

because we do not want to accept losses, therefore when we are floating minus we will always try to hold it until later it can be a plus

this is because we don't want to accept losses in trading and this is the wrong thought of it
