because we do not want to accept losses in trading, and that is a very wrong thought, so it is easier for us to hold floating minus than floating plus

the floating minus position is indeed very easy than holding the plus position because holding the minus position will feel comfortable when we really have a lot of money and we will just relax and we don't think about the risks that will occur

because as far as I know holding a floating minus position makes us more curious than floating plus because indeed when we experience a minus position then we assume the price will go up or down soon based on our analysis even though it's wrong

indeed I admit that holding a floating minus position is easier than holding a profit dotting position because psychologically when we are placed or faced with a floating minus we will not be willing to lose our money, we always wait so that one day the price will reverse direction

holding the floating minus position for some reason is more pleasing to the eye than holding the floating plus position because maybe we feel that floating minus is just not the right time to get the right result so we are more aware to hold the floating minus position even though it's wrong

holding floating minus positions more because indeed when we open a position we will certainly see if there is an opportunity to reverse direction or not when we open the wrong position

holding floating minus is indeed more than holding floating plus because indeed when we hold floating minus then we always assume we will never, therefore we as much as possible hold it without using stop loss

holding a floating minus position really requires high concentration because when we hold a losing position then we must be able to make sure that it will immediately reverse direction otherwise we should just use a stop loss to be safe

maybe because we are not sincere for floating minus it becomes something very special because when we shoot minus then we will want to immediately get floating plus in any way

because holding a minus position will have an impact on losses and we as traders are not sincere and cannot accept the defeat even though the longer it takes it will get worse if left

holding a floating minus is mostly used to hold the wrong position or those who don't use a stop loss because by holding a floating minus position we will get the opportunity to do a martiangle

I think it's mostly like that, I also do that maybe because we think that the price will reverse direction later. But that belief will be wrong when we don't use stop loss

holding a floating minus position is indeed mostly done by foreign exchange traders because assuming that it will soon reverse direction is indeed very good, but when the floating has exceeded the risk then you should not continue

because using floating minus makes us more curious, so we are willing to hold that position even though we already know that it all makes us lose

this happens because we have not been able to accept that the loss is something that we definitely get, and our mindset is constantly thinking that trading must definitely make a profit in every transaction.
