Just adjusted my stop loss to break even. It's a solid move when your trade starts working in your favor—locks in safety while keeping upside open. Protecting what you've earned while letting profits run is the whole game.

Set stop-loss before bankruptcy, now that's called prudence haha

Move the stop-loss to the cost price; I can do this. It seems like insurance but actually tests your mentality the most—can you resist closing the position and let the profit run on its own.

The stop-loss is choking, this trick is old Chen, but it is indeed rational.

Move the stop-loss to break-even. I use this trick frequently, just worried that a reversal might bring it back to the starting point... But to be honest, this way of operating is indeed much more reassuring.

Setting the stop-loss at the cost price is really brilliant. This way, you won't get stuck in a loss, and you can still enjoy the profits above, clever!

Set stop-loss to break even? That's true risk control awareness. It's far beyond those gamblers who go all-in in one shot.

Is this move even feasible... really depends on how long you can hold on, huh? Most people set their stop-loss at breakeven, but guess what? Still can't resist the rebound and end up trapped again,得了吧
