most traders prefer to hold the floating minus because they are not willing to lose a little profit even though the risk is much greater even the MC can occur at any time without a stop loss security.

if the trader does not prioritize risks that must be minimized with risk management then the tend to be more often hold minus positions than hold profit floating positions.

floating minus will affect a trader's psychology towards getting worse that's why hold minus floating will damage psychology and mentality and make it even worse.

traders who like to hold a floating minus are usually traders who are still beginners or traders who have not been able to be willing to potential losses so more often hold a minus position even not infrequently until the MC.

Speaking of mentality, if only read raw, the mental trader is very strong, strong, sometimes brave without being afraid to open orders without a very thorough analysis.

But from all of that it seems that mentality is a form of psychological safety without anything that becomes a flaw in conducting a trading analysis and will succeed with a pleasant ending.

Holding floating minus is usually based on fear of loss but hold floating plus is more difficult to do because of fear of price reversing and we lose the profit we have made.

Withstand floating profits that have been obtained must be with a strategy so as not to feel difficult, just use the Trailing stop for the problem.

the only thing related to floating minus and uncontrolled is psychology, with untrained psychology it usually causes us to often hold the minus position and that is very bad and risky.

we are often more able to withstand floating minus compared to hold position plus because it is related to our bafsu who just always wants to profit without knowing risk and without willing to suffer the slightest loss.

floating minus is usually more disruptive to our trading psychology than floating plus because most traders are more unwilling to suffer losses so always maintain a floating minus.

usually traders will prefer to hold the floating minus because they are afraid of loss and they do not want to lose even the slightest and they have the desire not to lose anything in all transactions even though the loss must come and not to aggravate the risk.

if we follow the passions of course we will be difficult to limit the risk and the result is often floating floating minus and stop floating plus immediately, it's not wise when viewed from risk reward management.

Such conditions in my opinion are reasonable conditions but actually a bad condition because many traders tend to prefer hold minus minus than waiting for SL or TP to be touched by one of them.

floating minus will usually make our mind go blind because we don't see the losses getting bigger and erode our account so that's why many traders prefer to hold floating minus.

when we face floating minus we are usually afraid of the big loss happening to us and hope that floating minus can turn in the opposite direction so that it becomes even or profit, but such expectations actually violate good trading rules.
