Let’s be honest—your biggest loss last quarter wasn’t due to market randomness. It was a preventable error. A slip in discipline. A trade you knew was off, but took anyway.
How to Cut Preventable Mistakes
Codify your “no-trade” zones.Choppy markets? News days? Overtraded sessions? Label and avoid.
Use timeouts.After two losses in a row, pause. Review. Don’t re-enter on tilt.
Write before clicking.Type out the setup logic. If you can’t explain it in a sentence, don’t take it.
