stop loss needs to be applied in a disciplined and routine meaning that it is not often shifted stop loss, especially without an acceptable reason because shifting SL with whatever you want is not good.

shifting stop loss is not a good thing because it is a sign of undisciplined in applying stop loss and good trading methods. If it continues then trading will not be successful.

Bad habits made in trading will also have a negative impact on trading results, including the habit of often shifting stop losses will certainly not be able to discipline well.

shifting the stop loss is actually okay as long as it has a strong reason to shift it but it is better not to move the stop loss because if the stop loss has been applied it has become a certainty.

as much as possible keep yourself with the discipline of applying stop loss even though more often touched than the target profit, do not shift the stop loss because it will become a bad habit.

shifting the stop loss too often is one of the habbits that must be avoided because it is not good and is not recommended when trading.

installing stop loss must be done in a disciplined meaning if it is installed just the same it is a loss that we are able to give up so don't interfere with our psychology anymore.

stop loss is one of the strategies that must be applied in a disciplined manner so often shifting a stop loss is an act that is not good and will pose a greater risk.

shifting stop loss is a bad habit so we should be able to avoid it because bad habits like that will not produce profits in the long run, rather the risk we will get.

before we place a stop loss of course we already have an analysis because we put a stop loss at that location

true, indeed there must be a reason for every stop loss and profit target placement because we have risk management that we must always apply with discipline.

The habit of shifting losses may be many types, too, bro, for example there are those who like to slide while floating loss but there are also those who like to slide when floating profit.

It's not good enough to slide SL when floating loss but knowing that the action is not good is actually right and means you have the desire to change into a better trader. Moreover, you also complete an analysis that SL sliding occurs because there is a desire to always win, so I'm sure you can certainly develop into a better trader.

a habit will definitely be carried on forever during trading as long as the trader does not want to change what becomes a bad habit, for example, often shifting the stop loss will forever shift the stop loss.

stop loss must be placed in a fix so often shifting stop loss is actually not a good thing and should be avoided because it deals with things that are not disciplined and even tends to violate the rule.

the habit of shifting the stop loss is not good for our mental and psychology so that attitude is actually not good and we need to reorganize it so that we are more obedient to the rule, especially in placing stop loss.
