Many don’t like to hear this but if you’re lightly exposed and holding small positions you’re not confident in, just staring at the chart hoping for a lucky exit, it’s often better to close them out and go fully flat for a bit.

1) Clears your mental slate. Weak positions clog your thinking and anchor your bias.

2) Breaks the sunk cost loop. Just because you bought doesn’t mean you need to hold.

Flat isn’t passive, it’s a position. It resets your conviction and puts you back in control.
