止损和不止损——止损的误区何在？

   在金融投机操作中，止损是最常见又最不受欢迎的词汇之一。止损是在金融投机中长期生存的最重要的基本功，但出于对损失的本能逃避，大多数投机者对止损的认识是混乱甚至错误的，或者处于无知的状态，对止损的认识误区也是最多的。

误区之一：不止损－－不止损为什么是错误的呢？


    只要操作就会有对有错。做对了盈利是理所当然，做错了又怎么办呢？在foreign exchange市场上做错之后的唯一选择是马上承认错误和改正错误，而止损正是承认错误和改正错误的主要手段。任何一笔交易都不应该看作是孤注一掷的赌博，而是概率游戏中的一个分子。不执行止损操作，意味着不愿或没有勇气承认错误，潜意识里或者认为自己不会犯错，或者抱有侥幸心理。而根据墨菲定律，“如果某件事有可能变坏的话，那么这种可能性将成为现实”，小错误会变成大错误，小损失会变成大损失，最终变得一发不可收拾。


    From another perspective, no investor will live long500Age, and spend most of the time waiting for a losing position to turn into a profit; Each investor's capital is limited and cannot support unlimited loss possibilities. And facing investors who fail to correct their mistakes, it is obvious that they have already done a good job of 'really wanting to live again'500The preparation for the "New Year" has also been completed, and the route to Knox Fort (US Reserve) has been duggoldThe authentic place.


    Stop loss may be a new mistake, just a possibility, but not stopping loss is definitely a mistake. The lesser of the two harms, although most people are unwilling to bear definite losses, considering limited time and funds, it is obviously wise to exchange small local losses for global initiative.




Misconception 2: Chaotic Stop Loss


    Most beginners who are new to speculation, after suffering huge losses due to not stopping losses, usually learn their lesson and regard stop loss as a strict discipline, leading them to another extreme and falling into a new misconception: disorderly stop loss.


    The consequences of disorderly stop loss are obvious, and no account can withstand long-term and sustained stop loss. Faced with increasingly thin account net worth, investors often return to the old path of not stopping losses and oscillate between stopping losses and not stopping losses.


    Investors need to break free from the mindset of stop loss and no stop loss in order to find the answer to the problem. What is the purpose of stop loss? The purpose of stop loss is to control risk, but it must be recognized that stop loss is not the only means of controlling risk. The traps in the maze of speculation are all kinds, and the mistakes we make and the risks we face are also all kinds. Only by fundamentally avoiding mistakes and taking fewer risks can we reduce the number of stop losses and make each stop loss necessary and worthwhile, rather than meaningless and self harming.




Misconception 3: Sometimes stop loss, sometimes no stop loss


    After realizing the necessity of stop loss and tasting the bitter fruit of disorderly stop loss, investors still have a dead end to go, which is sometimes stop loss and sometimes not stop loss. When the loss is within one's acceptable range, such as loss30When the point is reached, choose stop loss, but once the stop loss expands to100If you click, there will be no stop loss. This is actually deciding whether to stop loss based on the size of the loss, and the correct approach is to decide whether to stop loss based on whether one has made a mistake.


    Stop loss is not a panacea, it is just a safety belt and parachute for investing on the road. Not wearing a seat belt does not necessarily mean a collision, but wearing a seat belt can make the investment more stable. Stop loss is necessary, but it can only be used as a precautionary measure. The abuse and misuse of stop loss will only cause harm.


    对大多数投资者而言，少犯错误，降低频率，小仓操作，一贯的执行操作纪律，才能从业余升级为专业，走上长期稳定盈利之道。——文/Lu He
