Sticking to my initial stop-loss

I had a recent trade on $GOOG where I moved my stop down by about 1.5% after the initial entry because I was convinced it was just a temporary dip. Of course, it blew past that new level and cost me significantly more than if I'd just let the original stop hit. Lesson learned about respecting my initial risk plan.

ก็อย่างที่เห็นกันบ่อยๆ อ่ะนะ พยายามเอาคืนหรือขยับ stop-loss ส่วนใหญ่จบไม่สวย เสียมากกว่าเดิมด้วยซ้ำ

Classic mistake. Deviating from your initial stop is rarely a good idea, especially when it's based on emotion rather than a clear technical re-evaluation. Your 'temporary dip' hunch cost you.

That's a tough lesson to learn, but thanks for sharing. I've been wondering about how strict people are with their stops, so this is really helpful to hear. Do you ever re-evaluate your stop if the market structure fundamentally changes, or is it always a hard line once you've set it?
