One of the most detrimental habits in trading is depending on luck and attempting to trade without a stop loss. The primary reason behind this behavior is the difficulty traders face in accepting losses, as it involves emotionally challenging decisions. This tendency to avoid pain is a fundamental aspect of human nature. This is precisely why newcomers to trading should consider setting tight stop losses – in theory, these are easier to accept without experiencing significant emotional turmoil.
