In my opinion, when you always shift your stop loss, it is something that is not good because when you are always like that, you are not sure of the position you are in, it is better if you use a stop loss, just leave it there.

when you shift the stop loss it's the same as you don't believe in yourself when you trade because people who like to shift the stop loss are people who don't want to fail and precisely by shifting it all you get bad results because you might get a floating minus that long

the habit of moving your stop loss when you open a position could be that you are not mentally ready because you are not sure what you are using and that is an annoying thing and that also makes you unable to consistently take advantage of stop-losses.

To be able to shift the stop loss, we can do it first before opening a position properly. When someone always does something like that, you can be sure they can't open a position properly because they always use that method so they don't get touched.

This habit is a negative habit because when you always shift or move the stop loss that you have previously set, it is the same as being less sure of what you are doing and this will keep repeating until you realize that not everything has to be changed.

Habits like this, namely moving stop losses, are actually often done without realizing it and of course this is a bad habit that we must get rid of immediately.

When we make a stop loss we must make a commitment not to shift the stop loss, because if we move the stop loss often it shows we are not ready to be a trader.

don't let you become that person because in my opinion when you always shift the stop loss it will not be able to solve the problem it will actually add to the problem where what was right becomes wrong.

Of course, we must first calculate the potential loss when making a stop loss and when we have decided where the stop loss is, then we don't move it.

This habit is a bad habit because when you always shift the stop loss just to avoid floating minus it's wrong you have to be able to be alert in other ways.

Shifting Stop Loss is always very bad, and that is the ability that we unconsciously will destroy us

When you shift the stop loss, you don't have to be like that, just let it go.
