Cut Loss Timely or Let Profits Run: Which is Easy For You?

The most challenging part of investing is often the test of human nature. After buying a stock, if it drops, will you promptly cut your losses and sell it? If the stock rises, will you immediately take your profits? Both timely cutting of losses and letting profits run require investors to have a strong mindset.

*how to manage gains & losses?* I employ a diversified strategy, leveraging the stability of value ETFs for long-term holdings (DCA & HODL) while capitalizing on market opportunities with leveraged ETFs and select high-growth stocks (trade & take profits). Meanwhile, I maintain a disciplined approach to risk management, promptly cutting losses on underperforming and non-contributing positions to optimize portfolio performance and maximize returns.

As for me, my strategy is picking up a stock and make analysis for it. I will invest value stocks such as Nvdia and TSMC and hold for long term as long as there are potential growth and opportunities or average down my cost when they come to lower prices. However, I will swing trade some volatile stocks or meme stocks that are potential to fall such as Game stock and AMC to gain a percentage of profits when shorts. I will cut loss of those risky stocks and buy again the deep. [NosePick]  [Sly]  [Helpless]

When your trade go against you, don't chase losses. Cut your losses early. As for me I am willing to lose $2662 of profits without losing my initial capital. Always play with your profits. As they say  "Cut your Losses Short and let your winners run" Have a great evening everybody [Happy]

Have read and practise a bit of different strategies but yet to be more disciplined in trading. Still slow to cut losses and quick to take quick profits.
Use DCA for those I want to keep for long term
Different situations call for different strategies. 
For those hopeless ones, better cut losses early. Short term pain better than long term pain [Happy]

Different stratrgies for different trades' objectives; swing trade or day trade or short trade are more unstable market's climate; but long term (hold for 2 to 5 years) traders, the basic requirement is to ensure to study well for the investing company. Fundamentally, either short or long term traders should know well how to apply the skills, techniques and knowledges in trading (e.g. how to measure the chart and the MA Trend Lines)

The stock market can be a real emotional rollercoaster, and managing gains and losses is one of the hardest parts. Here's my philosophy, which is still a work in progress: Know Thyself: I understand my own risk tolerance. This helps me set realistic goals and avoid chasing returns that could keep me up at night. Let Profits Run: I try to let winning trades run, but not blindly. Maybe I'll raise my stop-loss order as the price climbs, locking in some gains while allowing for some upside potential. Cut Losses Early: I hate selling a stock that dips only to see it rebound later. But I also know that letting losses spiral can be devastating. So, I try to have clear criteria for cutting losses. Focus on the Long Game: I focus on building a diversified portfolio for the long term, with a mix of
Lets say I have been tolerating them since 2021 and it is really painful. I hope they don't delist otherwise it will be the biggest hole in my pocket. 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Honestly, letting profits run is way easier for me, at least emotionally. Here's why: Fear of Missing Out (FOMO): When a stock is climbing, there's this constant buzz in the back of my head – "what if it keeps going? What if I sell too early and miss out on a huge gain?" It's tempting to just hold on and see where it goes, hoping to ride the wave. Greed: Let's face it, seeing those green numbers on the screen is pretty darn satisfying! It's like a little reward for picking the right stock. Sometimes, I get greedy and want to squeeze every last penny out of a winning position. Regret is Worse Than Disappointment: While losing money stinks, selling a stock too early and then watching it soar feels much worse. The regret of missing out can be a powerful motivator to hold on for dear life. Den
keep winning trades especially when fundamentals of companies doesn't change. same principle when there are losses, just hold on.
