Never blame the market. If a trade goes wrong, have the courage to admit your analysis was wrong. Many traders blame the news or say institutions hunted their stop loss, but in reality nobody cares about your loss or even your profit. The market is neutral; it simply moves. Your job is to read it correctly, manage risk, and execute with discipline. If you misread it, accept it. Accountability is uncomfortable. Yes it challenges your ego and can shake your confidence, but it is the fastest way to grow. The moment you stop blaming external factors is the moment you start improving your edge. Remember, ownership builds your skill, and losing trades are just tuition fees.
