XCN position went up 5% during the trade, but I chickened out and didn't take profits. Ended up moving my stop to breakeven instead. Classic case of not having the conviction to hold or the discipline to exit cleanly—just floating in limbo at cost basis. The mental game in trading is tougher than the technical setup sometimes.

This is me, haha. Mindset is indeed the biggest enemy; even a 5% increase can make people feel conflicted. I often feel the same way.

This mindset is really the biggest killer in trading. Giving up at just 5% loss? You need to strengthen your mental resilience.

It's a mindset issue... Not willing to even take 5% profit, and instead set a stop-loss to comfort oneself, which is truly awkward.

5% and you're out? Bro, you need to adjust your mindset. What's there to hesitate about when it comes to making money?

This mindset is truly incredible; the money earned can even scare yourself away, haha.
