🧠 Trading is Not About Charts. It's About This:
You know the strategy.
You know the indicators.
But you still lose money.
Why?
Because you're fighting one person in every trade:
Your past self.

🕳️ The 3 Psychological Traps You Don’t See:
1. Revenge Trading
After a loss, you enter again immediately.
Not because the setup is good — but because you need to win back what you lost.
→ This isn't trading. It's gambling.
2. Ego Holding
You're in a losing trade, but you won't close it.
Because closing = admitting you were wrong.
→ Your ego is more expensive than any stop loss.
3. FOMO Timing
You see green, you jump in.
Not because you believe in the move — but because you're afraid of being left out.
→ Fear of missing out becomes fear of being in.

🔄 How I Broke the Cycle:
I started writing one sentence before every trade:
“I am entering because ______, and I will exit if ______.”
Example:
“I am entering because BTC bounced at the 4H support with rising volume, and I will exit if it breaks below yesterday’s low.”
This separates logic from emotion.
No sentence? No trade.

💡 Your Mental Toolbox:
✅ The 5-Minute Rule
Feeling emotional after a win/loss? Walk away for 5 minutes. No trading.
✅ The Journal Question
Every night, ask: “Did I follow my plan today — or my emotions?”
✅ The Screen-Time Cap
Set a timer. When it rings, close the charts.
Over-analysis leads to under-performance.

✍️ Save this. Re-read it on a red day.
The market tests your strategy once.
It tests your psychology every minute.
