I’d say I used to be stuck between A and B—trying to catch the bottom while refusing to cut losses. I told myself a stock was “cheap” at every level down, adding more as it fell. In reality, I wasn’t investing—I was averaging into a mistake and hoping time would fix it.
What changed for me was shifting focus from upside to risk. Once I started respecting stop-losses and accepting small losses early, everything became clearer. I stopped needing to be right on every trade and instead focused on staying in the game.
Now I lean much more on discipline—waiting for trend and volume confirmation. If there’s no clean setup, I’m comfortable doing nothing. Ironically, trading less has improved my results the most.
