It turns out that making money is all about luck, while losing money is a skill. If I can't learn to watch the price rush towards the stop-loss line without panicking, my journey may still be long. There have been too many times when I panicked and closed positions with floating losses just before hitting the stop-loss, only to turn around and open a short position, resulting in painful lessons learned from opening at the bottom. A thousand days of chopping wood for one day of burning. Sigh... when will I be able to get ashore.
