What Your Last 3 Trades Reveal About Your Trading Future

Ever notice how two traders can take the exact same setup but get completely different results?

The truth isn't in your strategy. It is in your mind.

I've created a simple checklist for you today. Be honest with yourself as you read through this.

Ask yourself: How often do you...

✓ Check trading charts during family time or work?

NEVER [ ] SOMETIMES [ ] ALWAYS [ ]

✓ Feel your heart racing before entering trades?

NEVER [ ] SOMETIMES [ ] ALWAYS [ ]

✓ Take losses personally, like the market is against you?

NEVER [ ] SOMETIMES [ ] ALWAYS [ ]

✓ Hesitate to set stop losses because "the market will turn"?

NEVER [ ] SOMETIMES [ ] ALWAYS [ ]

✓ Remember your losses more clearly than your wins?

NEVER [ ] SOMETIMES [ ] ALWAYS [ ]

If you marked "SOMETIMES" or "ALWAYS" on any of these, we need to talk.

Here's why this matters,

Your biggest enemy isn't the market, it's these hidden patterns controlling your trades.

Let me break this down,

When you check charts during family time, you are not being dedicated, you are developing trading anxiety.

The market moves whether you watch it or not.

That racing heart before trades? It is not excitement. It is fear disguised as enthusiasm. Your best trades will feel almost boring.

Taking losses personally? This is why you revenge trade.

The market isn't your ex. It doesn't remember your last trade, so why are you holding grudges?

And that hesitation with stop losses? It's not strategy, it is hope trading. Hope is a terrible exit plan.

Remembering losses more than wins? This is why you are probably trading bigger lots when you're down. Your brain is trying to "make things right."

These patterns aren't just bad habits. They're profit killers. Each one costs you money in ways you might not even realize.
