One sentence destroys more traders than bad analysis ever will:
"I'll close it if it gets worse."
Sounds harmless.
Until it isn't.
Because "a little worse" becomes "a lot worse."
And "a lot worse" becomes liquidation. 😭
Most account blowups begin with one tiny act of negotiation.
A trader makes a rule...
Then breaks it emotionally.
The scary part?
Almost nobody plans to blow an account.
It happens through small compromises repeated over time.
One ignored stop loss.
One oversized position.
One emotional decision.
Then another.
Then another.
Discipline isn't lost in one day.
It's abandoned one excuse at a time.
