A Small Loss Can Be a Sign of Good Discipline

Not every small loss is a failure.

Sometimes you entered a valid setup, the market invalidated it, and you exited exactly as planned.

That's a controlled outcome.

The dangerous alternative is refusing to accept the loss and allowing it to grow because you want to be right.

Judge the quality of the decision, not only the color of the P&L.

Taking a planned loss is part of responsible trading.
