I've read many traders share their insights, and one approach in particular left a deep impression.

Some traders operate this way: when facing a loss, they have no luck-based mentality. As soon as the price drops below the entry point, regardless of whether it's a false breakout, they close the position at market price immediately. This approach may seem aggressive, but the core logic is very clear—capital safety always comes first, and they prefer to cut losses rather than wait for a rebound.

And during the profit-taking phase, their attitude is completely reversed. When the price rises, they let it run without rushing to lock in profits. The only forced take-profit point is when the gain retraces from its peak to 50%, at which point they must exit to preserve the gains.

The brilliance of this logic lies in facing risk and reward with an asymmetrical attitude—being tough on defense, moderately aggressive on offense, and ultimately using the retracement to cover the downside. Not everyone can stick to this approach, but those who do often avoid many big pitfalls.
