Always getting stopped out and unable to hold positions? The reason is right here👇



Many people ask me: Why do I always get stopped out? Why can't I hold onto my positions?

Today, let's talk about:

Why do I keep getting stopped out?

1. Don't go against the trend to chase rebounds or pullbacks
In a downtrend, going long and placing stops below the previous low,
Since a downtrend constantly breaks previous lows, you'll get stopped out.
In an uptrend, going short and targeting previous highs is the same.
Once you're stopped out at previous highs or lows, you're trading in the wrong direction.

2. Don't only focus on the 1-minute K-line
The 1-minute chart is too chaotic and cluttered,
You can't clearly see the true high and low points of the wave,
You'll just get shaken out repeatedly.
The real use of the 1-minute chart is to help us find a relatively precise entry point.

If it doesn't break the previous high → It's just a rebound
If it doesn't break the previous low → It's just a pullback
Both rebounds and pullbacks are not the profits we're aiming for.

Why can't I hold onto my positions?

Because you don't have a clear take-profit target
Since we've chosen a position direction,
It's because we judge it will break the previous low or break through the previous high.
The target naturally is above or below the wave's high or low.

When approaching the dense area of previous highs/lows → Reduce your position first to lock in profits.

If you can't hold onto your positions,
Even if you see the trend correctly, your risk-reward ratio can't be above 1:2.
In the long run, you always earn less and lose more.

Trading is not gambling on size,
It's about analyzing the trend, setting goals, and following rules.
Follow this approach, and you'll find:
Holding positions is not difficult at all.
Reduce your position at key levels, and you'll feel more stable.
Trust yourself when you see the right direction.
