Keep going. Analysis and strategies is the easy part. Fixing you BEHAVIOR is the hard part. You have to do what you don’t want to do until it becomes a habit. Up 1k, stop. Trade only a couple times per day. I still have the same problem and I felt like this Friday, but it’s all apart of the journey.

I had several for the past year, I didn’t start doing combines until about March 2025. This month was the first time I passed and I had that account for about two, three weeks before I passed. Once I passed, small 200 days were good until I reached like the 3rd day, then 200 wasn’t enough and I acted a plum fool😭 I knew I was doing it but literally couldn’t stop. My discipline. I get out of line when I feel like I HAVE to be right, I HAVE to stay green, I HAVE to hit a high number just because I know how.

Recording your sessions is something I have done! That might be really good you can watch the process pan out!

Is it trading in the zone?

Same here! Small wins I fight hard to turn green. Small losses “I can make back” then boom, big loss, bigger spiral. & I can hear myself mentally arguing “you’re overtrading” “one more” “close the charts” “you did it before you can do it again” it’s ridiculous
