“Dilemma followed by Regrets – Any solutions?”

Hello All,
Greetings!
As we know that the contest result for Dec 2013 is out, I would like to especially congratulate the winners, and say good luck to all the

Do not try to lose more than you can afford... that includes money as well as emotions... competition is not the same. Otherwise, if the market is going really for you, just set the SL above the price you bought so to guarantee a profit (not possible in trader contest)

Part of the solution has already been given out by you. What I can add to your valuable advice is that most often if you can't hold your position after it has gone in your direction is partially because your type of personality want instant gratification and you most likely are better off if you're doing short term trending rather than long term trading. Secondly one way to shift the odds in your favor is by knowing the market microstructure that you're trading, this gives you the advantage to make a better judgement if the move is genuine or not.
