Don't Sleep Without Setting a Stop Loss Order

You may think this is obvious, but the truth is even seasoned traders have made this mistake. You are confident that you have read the market accurately, and the ego whispers, "No need for stop-loss, I can control it." But then... Europe wakes up with new data. The US has decided that the market needs a different direction. Tensions escalate in the Middle East, spreading shockwaves to the market. In the blink of an eye, your 'perfect' transaction turns into a valuable lesson about humility. Why is Stop-Loss never overlooked?

  1. The market never sleeps. When you rest, the global market still operates 24/7. Each region brings its own psychology, news, and fluctuations.
  2. Emotions overpower rationality. Without stop-loss, you will face decisions based on fear or panic when the market suddenly reverses.
  3. Protecting capital is the top priority. Trading is not only about seeking profit, but also about long-term existence in the market. A mistake in trading without a stop-loss can erase the results of many weeks, even many months.
  4. Unexpected event. Black swan events, escalating wars, or shocking news can cause prices to plummet uncontrollably. Stop-loss is your safety net. How to protect yourself?
  5. Place and forget. Always set stop-loss at a level appropriate to your risk tolerance. This is a non-negotiable principle.
  6. Adjust according to time zone. If you sleep, consider potential fluctuations in other areas when setting stop-loss.
  7. Diversify investment portfolios. Don't focus all your capital on one transaction. Diversification is a buffer against major losses.
  8. Control yourself when trading. You are not smarter than the market. Trading based on discipline, not emotions. Even the best traders have fallen into the trap of overconfidence. Stop-loss not only helps you minimize losses but also brings peace of mind, so you can sleep well every night, knowing that you have done everything to protect your investment portfolio.
