Profit is not victory yet
The most insidious thing in trading is not the loss. It is the profit that spoils your character.
One good trade - and the brain switches to “I’m a pro” mode. Hands reach for a larger volume. Fingers click “buy” faster.
But profit is not a medal. It is just part of the statistics.
I have caught myself several times that the biggest mistakes happened after successful trades.
Now, after each winning trade, I step away from the screen. Seriously. Coffee, a walk, silence. Because if you don’t do this – you will trade not according to strategy, but according to euphoria.
A profit is not a signal to “press more.” It is a signal to “check if you are still yourself.”
