Respect the Stop-Loss You Chose

Before entering a trade, you decide how much risk you're willing to accept.

Then price approaches your stop, and suddenly you want to move it farther away.

Ask yourself why.

If the trade idea is invalidated, extending the stop doesn't make the original setup stronger.

It only changes the risk you agreed to take.

Respect your plan, accept uncertainty, and remember that a controlled loss is easier to recover from than an uncontrolled one.
