What’s harder for you: honoring your stop or letting a winner run?

I’ve noticed most traders tend to break down on one side of the equation. Stops — taking the loss feels like admitting defeat, so the trade gets “just a little more room.” Targets — the second you’re up a bit, you take it off early instead of letting it reach the plan.

Both habits wreck otherwise good setups. For me, holding winners has always been tougher — fear makes me grab green too quickly, while losers somehow feel like they deserve “more time.”

Do you find it harder to cut losers or hold winners? And what’s actually helped you stick to the plan?
