(For married friends, pretend I didn't say this and skip ahead)
I accidentally discovered this mental trick. At the time, my trading performance was terrible, and my decisions were basically disaster-level.

After that, 'going on dates' almost became a cheat module in my trading system.

The core reason behind impulsive trading, frankly, has nothing to do with charts or strategies.
It's that you're trapped in a mental tunnel fighting against yourself.

Your attention will be firmly locked onto an anchor point, usually the candlestick chart.
Then emotions start looping: greed, panic, hope, regret—feeding each other.
