description: "$Oracle(ORCL.US) Let's talk about stop-loss ordersMy trading style this year has gradually shifted from long-term holding to short-term trading, mainly because the overall market is in a process of oscillation + decline.My comfortable long-term holding method is still bottom-fishing and going long. Maybe this month will present the opportunity.Reviewed my own stop-loss experiences:1 ORCLBought 200 shares at 320 (chasing the high), stopped out at 301, today it's at 146….The difference between a loss of 4000 and 43800.2 MSFTLike to bottom-fish. Every time I bottom-fish and realize something's off, I exit the same day. Total loss 456. This week, another account continues to bottom-fish.551-356 with no resistance, just kept going down. Don't know how many people got trapped.If you stubbornly hold on, the unrealized loss would be at least tens of thousands.3 BABATotal loss 821. Won't say much about this one. Every time I bought, there was a lower price.If I had bought a few hundred shares at 180 and not sold, that would also be thirty to forty thousand gone.Everyone has their own stocks with huge losses, and also stocks where a small loss from stop-loss saved them from disaster. These all form good experience. That is, when the market or an individual stock is falling, you still need strict discipline. No matter how bullish you are, when the stop-loss point is hit, you have to cut the loss.There are still many stocks that will trap a bunch of people later. Hope I don't fall into the trap again. It's all about who's quicker with the knife."

- **AAA我不是韭王 · 2026-04-05T06:45:30.000Z**: Master, I have a question. For small capital investing in US stocks, is it better to focus on just one stock? For example, NVIDIA, or is it better to diversify and watch several stocks?
  - **钢铁纪律** (2026-04-05T07:20:10.000Z): Buy NVDL+CALL (with three months or more to expiration) at the low point, and sell when SPX rises to 6900
  - **AAA我不是韭王** (2026-04-05T08:43:29.000Z): Is it summarized in six words: high risk, high leverage?
  - **钢铁纪律** (2026-04-05T08:45:31.000Z): Since you want to use a small amount of money and aim for high returns, you can only buy the most stable stocks or use leverage.
- **再也不抄底 · 2026-04-04T15:59:05.000Z**: Every time I just don't cut my losses and stubbornly hold on. I've been reflecting carefully and feel that if I'm down three or four percentage points after buying, I should get out to reduce risk. A sudden big drop plus the aftershocks can easily trap me with a loss of over ten percentage points. C
  - **钢铁纪律** (2026-04-04T22:44:54.000Z): 50% of the positions started from 10%
- **小陈发发 · 2026-04-04T06:18:02.000Z**: Actually, looking at the P/E ratio works too. Just don't buy these large-cap stocks if their P/E is too high.
  - **钢铁纪律** (2026-04-04T22:45:04.000Z): Bull trap
- **买股票就是投资公司 · 2026-04-04T03:54:33.000Z**: I'm not very good at setting stop-losses. How do I set a stop-loss point?
  - **钢铁纪律** (2026-04-04T03:58:12.000Z): You can base it on the percentage of loss, or on the support level.
- **Leo Leo · 2026-04-04T02:34:42.000Z**: Why do I feel like it's about to rebound? 🥲
  - **钢铁纪律** (2026-04-04T02:40:30.000Z): Oracle?
  - **Leo Leo** (2026-04-04T03:39:27.000Z): Microsoft
  - **钢铁纪律** (2026-04-04T03:58:33.000Z): Oh, didn't I buy it again? It's profitable now.
