Funny thing about a losing trade. The tighter you squeeze, the faster it bleeds. Seen it a hundred times. White knuckles. Red portfolio. They hold because letting go feels like losing. It is losing. You're just doing it slower and angrier. Hope isn't a stop loss. Stubbornness isn't a strategy. The ones who let go fast? They live to trade again. The ones who hold forever? They just hold. Lesson: Control comes from letting go. Turns out, the iron grip was the problem.
