Here’s the mindset shift: a trade that follows your system and still loses isn’t a bad trade—it’s a good trade with a bad outcome. And that distinction is everything.
Separate Process from Outcome
You’re playing probabilities, not certainties.Even a 70% win-rate means 3 of every 10 trades lose.
Focus on execution quality.Did you enter where you should have? Was risk managed? Then it was a good trade.
Detach your self-worth.Losing doesn’t mean you suck. It means your system is doing its job in the long run.
Measure the Right Things
Review your trades not by P&L, but by consistency of behavior.We can help you build that review framework.
