The New Economic Cold War. By Danny Esposito for Investment Contrarians | Jun 14, 2012 In a previous article, I wrote about the U.S.’s grave mistake in cutting off the emerging economies from using the U.S. dollar—the reserve currency—in transactions with Iran. I argued that these countries not only represented a significant portion of the population of the world, but they are also the fastest growing economies in the world.

This means that every trader will be wrong sometimes. When a trade does go wrong, there are only two options: to accept the loss and liquidate your position, or go down with the ship. This is why using stop orders is so important. Many traders take profits quickly but also hold on to losing trades - it's simply human nature. We take profits because it feels good and we try to hide from the discomfort of defeat.
