Loss It's finally over. I'm free.

I can finally give up fully. Thanks for playing.

People who don't set a stop loss. Why? Seriously! I get it if your position is negligible, but OP here went all in, with leverage, without any safety net. Why!?

Did it V tho? If not then your stop loss wasn't a bad investment

Oy, I hate when that happens 😢 so sorry to hear but I'm sure you'll catch the next one

Yeah, you're right. And I'm fine with it; more often than not my stops keep me from stupid things rather than prevent brilliant ones.

Always best to preserve capital for the next big play than to lose it all and have it be game over 😄👍 I love that philosophy
