If you don't Bet, you can't Win. If you Lose all, you can't Bet.

I remember Charlie Munger once said " All I Want To Know Is Where I'm Going To Die So I'll Never Go There."

I believe the best way to recover your loss is to protect your money before it goes into that situation. (Recover-my-loss situation)

I'm a 1% position sizing rules follower. Cutting the losses short is the only way. MM once tweeted " Trading without a stop-loss is like driving a car without brakes. Those who trade without stops, eventually stop trading."

We all make mistakes; don’t waste the mistakes you’re probably already making. Take extra time to follow them back through their roots, which may go deeper than you think.

If you ask me what is the finest skill of trade , i will tell you is not to lose money. Understanding risk, learning how to accept risk is the most important skill you should learn. Making money in the stock market can be done by anybody. Profits always take care of themselves but losses never do. We can't control the price to go up or down, but we can limit our loss.

The best traders not only take the risk, they have also learned to accept and embrace that risk. When you fully accept the risks, you are definitely no longer susceptible to the common fears and trading errors.

"Before I enter a stock position, the first thing I do is decide where I’m going to cut my loss. As the stock moves up, my priority changes to protecting my breakeven price. If I’m fortunate to have a decent gain, my priority shifts to protecting my profit.” - Mark Minervini

    Most understand the need to stop losses but not many knows how much losses they can withstand before pulling the plug. Many are under the impression that the turn is coming till it’s too late.

      I had a stock, because of my ego, I think it will rise again. in the end, cut loss at -40%. Now I still hold 1k to remind myself not to do "this time is different" stuff again. today it down to -89%.

    Very useful investment skills. Learning to set stop loss line and profit line is the key to sustainable investment.

    I think the current stock market is a paradise for venture investors. It fluctuates greatly every day, which is very suitable for arbitrage for people who like to operate frequently.

      How to find stock check list .
      -Screen stocks that are within 25% of their 52week high
      -Eliminate stocks trading below USD30
      -200 MA is rising for at least 3 months
      -50 MA is above 200 MA
    • LCapitaljrReplyLCapitaljr

      -Current price is above 200sma and preferably above 50 too
      - Current price is at least above 100% from 52week low
      -The stock should have made a 52 weeks high at least once every 4 to 6 months

      looks like u need a really trending market to profit.
    • LCapitaljr
      My 1st trigger is 70% of my position size. and wait 2nd opportunity to add other 30%. n target 2R to take profit or get out with break even. seem like these 2 trades didn't follow my will.
