In this podcast episode, Ryan Mallory talks about the big losses that traders experience and what to do with them when the amount of the loss seems impossible to come back from. Do you just sell the stock while it is down and take the loss, or do you just hold it knowing that it can’t get that much worse than it already is? Also covered in this podcast episode is trading what you see and not what you think, and the importance of using risk management when it isn’t convenient.
