The importance of a stop loss with risk management

Certainly nothing is better than learning with others mistakes, and why is that? Just because it is the most cheap way of learning, when in the market, it will not be so complacent and very expensive. A lesson that is very neglected is the one which Jesse Livermore say: "Profits always take care of themselves but losses never do".
Or, in a concise form: stop loss. Never forget to use it and not just as a fun tool, but it ought to be part major strategy, to your risk management. If you don't have…

If I think of stop-loss, I think of "beyond the support or resistance". If that helps. Best wishes. :) :)

Dear friends ,

Yesterday we saw some of the excerpts from the brilliant book about Jesse Livermore - REMINISCENCES OF A STOCK INVESTOR .
I hope we can improve a lot in our trading if we read such books.What is amazing is how much of the book is applicable to today's markets and trading, seeing that the events in it are from about 80-90 years ago.
Today we shall see some more excerpts from the book. ( More of philosophical thoughts )
"Let me tell you the trouble with trading. There is no career…

Jesse Livermore - Reminiscences of a Stock Operator

Some inspiring and educational quotes by Jesse Livermore (from Reminiscences of a Stock Operator)
1) And when the market goes your way you become fearful that the next
day will take away your profit, and you get out-too soon. Fear keeps you
from making as much money as you ought to. The successful trader has to
fight these two deep-seated instincts. He has to reverse what you might
call his natural impulses. Instead of hoping he must fear; instead of
fearing he must hope. He must fear that h…
