The Day I Broke the Mirror… and Saw Myself for the First Time”

I remember the trade that broke me.

I lost my entire monthly salary in one catastrophic move. I screamed at the screen:
“The market is rigged!”
“Institutions are hunting us!”
“It’s not fair!”

But when the noise inside me settled, a single question echoed back:
“What if the problem… is me?”

That was the moment I stopped blaming the market and started auditing myself.

I picked up a notebook and began journaling every trade:
• Why did I enter?
• What was I feeling?
• What did I learn?

The truth hit harder than any loss:
80% of my losses came from myself.
• FOMO — Entering just because others were winning.
• Revenge trades — Doubling down after a loss to “get even.”
• Blind trust — Acting on “secret tips” instead of research.

So, I created an “Internal Trial” before every trade:
• Am I okay with this decision even if I lose?
• Is this based on a plan — or emotion?
• Do I have a clear exit strategy if it turns against me?

These questions turned me from a reactive gambler into a disciplined decision-maker.

I stopped being a slave to trades — and became the judge in the court of finance.

Hard truth:
The mirror doesn’t lie.
Once you see your trading behavior for what it is, you can finally change it.
Start journaling. Ask the hard questions. Face yourself — before the market forces you to.
