Stop-Loss: The Most Critical Component of Trading (And Why Most Traders Fail Without It)

Most traders don’t lose money because they lack profitable strategies. They lose because they refuse to cut losses in time. A controlled 1% stop-loss is a scratch. A delayed 6-10% panic exit is a disaster. Repeat it a few times, and the trading account is finished.

Loss % → Gain needed to recover:
5% → 5.3%
10% → 11.1%
20% → 25%
40% → 66.7%
60% → 150%

Markets move fast. Emotions move faster. Both can destroy you.

Profit is optional. Loss control is mandatory. Anyone can take a profit. Very few can take a loss.
