I have always adhered to a trading principle — strictly execute stop-loss. This is not just talk on paper, but a necessity to survive in this market.
The saying "Unity of knowledge and action" is well put. Having ideas without action is useless; execution is the dividing line. How many people watch their losses grow because they can't bring themselves to press the stop-loss button? That moment of hesitation often determines the fate of the account.
I have seen too many negative examples — overconfidence, hoping for a price rebound, refusing to admit losses. And what’s the result? Small losses turn into big ones, and the account is directly blown up. Those traders who last longer all have a deep respect for stop-loss.
That’s why I take this very seriously. Once I set the stop-loss level, I execute it decisively, giving myself no room to bargain. It is this discipline that allows me to repeatedly enter and exit the market.

Hi, talking about stop-loss is easy, but very few people actually execute it.
The problem is, when that moment really comes, who isn't hesitant? I've seen even the most rational people bet on a rebound.
It's easy to say, but in practice, it's extremely difficult.

Setting a stop-loss is easy to talk about, but when it comes to actually pressing the button, you realize how difficult it truly is.

Setting stop-loss is easy to talk about but really hard to do. I've also experienced the moment when my finger hovered over the stop-loss button, trembling for three minutes.

To be honest, this is the difference between surviving and getting liquidated.

That's right, stop-loss is the lifeline. I once blew up my position due to overconfidence, but now I set it properly and close immediately without hesitation.
