You nail the perfect setup. Chart looks immaculate. $BTC poised exactly where you expected. Then comes the killer mistake—a stop loss that's way too tight. Your conviction on the trade was solid, but the execution betrayed you. That millisecond panic, that overly aggressive risk management? It wipes out what should've been a clean win. Sometimes the hardest part isn't finding the trade. It's letting it breathe long enough to actually work.

Damn, this is my story every time... The moment I get stopped out and get squeezed is truly hopeless.

Setting stop-loss too tight is truly a killer. I've seen too many technically perfect trades suffocate themselves.

Oh wow, having the stop-loss too tight is really a death sentence. I've done that too.

Tight stop-losses are really my old problem; once I get this disease, I just want to shake it off.

Setting stop-loss too tight is really just fighting against yourself. There's no fundamental problem, but you still get shaken out.
