Real talk - anyone here deliberately take an L just to get a better entry? Like, you see the chart setting up but your position's underwater, so you cut it loose knowing you'll jump back in at a sweeter spot? Or is that just me overthinking exits when I should be riding it out?

This move is basically a gamble on mentality. I often get stuck holding positions and can't bear to cut my losses, and it ends up even worse.

Cutting losses and then buying the dip is basically betting that I can time the market... Uh... most of the time I make the wrong bet, haha.

I've done this before—cutting my losses and getting back in actually felt pretty good. The only worry is losing my composure and missing the next opportunity.

Stop-loss re-entry really is a double-edged sword. The key is whether you can actually catch that sweet spot... I often stop out only to watch the price skyrocket afterwards, which is so frustrating.

To be honest, I’ve tried this strategy before. Cutting losses is really painful at the moment, but later when I bought back at a lower price, I ended up making even more. It all depends on whether you can withstand the psychological stress.
