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.

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.
