Most people tend to hold a floating minus position because they are not sure about their analysis. They don't want their open position to be hit by a stop loss, so they are more confident when they hold it in the hope that the price will return.

In my opinion, it's not because they're not sure, but because they're afraid of losing money so they don't want to cut losses on the accounts they trade.

Holding a floating minus is something that more people do, so it's best when you trade. Don't ever do that, if you don't want your capital to run out, just do it by using a stop loss.

In fact, every trader has a different view of how things work, and perhaps those who hold minus plotting for too long are convinced that the price will reverse direction.

I also sometimes hold the floating minus position but when I hold the floating minus there is a limit. So I have calculated my management well, but it is very high risk, if it is unusual, you should use a stop loss.

This often happens, including myself, I also often do this because I feel that this price movement is actually in accordance with our analysis, but sometimes we will experience floating minus first, but it will be wiser when you continue to use stop loss.

holding a floating minus is the wrong thing here because after all, if you always act like that, it will be difficult for you to make a profit and it will actually be difficult for you yourself.

Many people do that because they don't want to lose their money, they prefer to hold floating minuses rather than cut losses and that is a wrong psychology.

Many people are willing to throw away their large capital just to get a small profit because they always hold a floating minus position so they think that way they will get their money back but in fact most of them actually have to cut losses.

I think a lot of people are like that because they don't want to lose. But I think that's a stupid thing that you have to get rid of with your method.

Most people use floating minus because they don't want to lose money quickly, they prefer to hold in the hope that the price can fulfill their strategy

Usually the floating minus is mostly held because the person doesn't want to lose, the person doesn't want to admit their mistake, even though if you hold it like that, your money will run out even more.

Sometimes you are too confident, for example, you will buy currency when you believe its value will rise, then you really believe that the analysis is correct so you don't want to make a cut loss.

floating minus is something that should not be held back because it is something that will damage your trading account, therefore you must be able to focus on using trading in a good and appropriate way
