Cutting losses short and letting your profits run are the most discussed topics in the forex market. Reducing your losses is probably a more straightforward thing to do. If you see that the price is not going where you have anticipated but has turned around and moved against you, you would likely close your position even if the price hasn’t triggered your stop-loss order yet. On the other hand, it is much more challenging to let your profits run, as you never know whether the price will reach your anticipated target or start reversing before that.
