About this episode

In this episode of The Trading Coach Podcast, Akil Stokes breaks down one of the most important rules every trader must follow—and the dangers of ignoring it. From cutting losses quickly to detaching your ego from the outcome of a single trade, you’ll learn why consistency and risk management matter more than being “right.”

Akil also shares real-world stories from both trading and real estate investing to show how emotional attachment and pride can sabotage long-term success.

Whether you’re a new trader struggling with losses or a seasoned pro looking to sharpen your mindset, this episode is a reminder that small losses won’t kill you—but refusing to cut them might.
