Today was a reminder of why risk management comes first.
• Took a trade and held far too long
• Ignored my exit rules
• Result: negative P&L
No excuses — that loss was on me, not the market.
Instead of spiraling, I reset:
• Followed my plan got back in where price first gave me an indication and followed through where the next set of buyers was
• Took a clean, disciplined win 1:3R
