3/ Mistake #2: Using Stops That Are Too Tight
Fear of loss causes traders to set stop-loss levels so tight that they get stopped out before the trade has a chance to work.
They mistake small, manageable losses for risk control, when in reality, they are just handing their money to the market.
Key Insight: A stop-loss should protect you from real risk, not market noise.
