Trader and artist mentality Cutting losses is a fundamental skill in risk management. So when you are in a losing trade, you need to know when to exit and accept the loss. Theoretically, reducing losses and keeping them small is a simple concept, but in reality, it is an art. Here are ten things to consider when cutting losses:
🔥📊 The crypto market is witnessing a violent SHORT SQUEEZE! In the past hour alone, short positions worth approximately 60 million dollars have been liquidated! 💣
📈 What does it mean? • A sudden and strong buying pressure • A strong upward price surge 🚀 • Sellers have been hit hard 🥊 • The market enters a rapid bullish wave ⚡
🔍 What do we expect? ✔️ Continued upward momentum if buying pressure persists ✔️ Possibility of re-testing strong resistance levels ✔️ Market sentiment shifts from fear to greed
📉 Message to traders: High leverage = Faster profits… and faster losses! ⚠️ $BTC 📊 The chart shows the truth Short liquidations significantly outperformed in the last hour ➡️ Strong buying pressure ➡️ Clear Short Squeeze ➡️ The market is pushing prices up vigorously
💡 The larger the short liquidations compared to long 📈 The higher the likelihood of continued upward movement
❌ Rarely is an account destroyed by a single wrong decision But what actually destroys it is the accumulation of small decisions we underestimate.
🔹 Delaying the stop loss 🔹 Entering without a clear reason 🔹 Increasing the contract size "a little" 🔹 Ignoring a simple weakness signal 🔹 Justifying the mistake with: this time is different
Each one alone doesn’t kill the account… But their combination does.
✨ The professional does not only fight loss, but also fights complacency. Discipline is not a big decision, But a daily commitment to small details.
When you protect yourself from small mistakes, You will be surprised how large losses automatically disappear.
