Understand the true cost of losses. Calculate how much profit you need to earn just to get back to where you started. Math doesn't lie — losses hurt.
Losses have an asymmetric impact on your account. If you lose 50% of your account, you don't need 50% profit to recover — you need 100%.
The deeper the drawdown, the harder it is to recover. This is why preserving capital is the most important rule in professional trading.
