Why You Keep Fighting Yourself (And Losing)

You know that feeling when your hands shake before clicking "buy"? Or when you exit early "just in case"? That's not you being weak that's your brain trying to help. Badly. 

Here's the truth: 

Your panic isn't stupid. It's your brain screaming "We don't have a plan for this! "

Your greed isn't dumb. It's your brain hissing This might be our last chance!

Stop. Breathe. Ask:

1) Would I take this trade if it wasn't my money?

2) What would my trading plan say right now?

3) Will this matter in 20 trades?

Your emotions aren't the enemy. They're warning lights. Fix the engine (your strategy), not the dashboard. 

Write this down: "Today I felt ______ when ______ because I'm not yet confident about ______." Do this for a week. You'll find the real problem. 

The market doesn't care about your feelings. But you should.
