There's a big difference between taking a 10% stop loss on a bad trade and holding and ending up down 70%.

IMO this is why the whole "diamond hands" thing is the stupidest thing to come out in the trading world during the last two years.
I’ve come to realise this, the amount of times I used to hold, and hope it comes back to breakeven, more recently, I’ve had the stop loss, continued to watch after it’s triggered, bought back lower, and made up my losses and some on the run back up
