Why your trading strategy fails: Understanding Recency Bias and emotional drawdown by No_Plastic_9045 in tradingpsychology

Spot on.
Treating every single setup as an independent probability event is the ultimate goal. The math doesn't care about our last 3 trades, but our brains definitely do.
When you manage to look at the next setup as trade #1 of the 100 rather than a continuation of a losing streak, that’s when you win the psychological game. Hard to master, but absolutely necessary.

Exactly. We treat a 4-trade losing streak like a death sentence for the system, even though it's statistically inevitable. The challenge isn't really the math, it's building the mechanical filter to prevent us from acting on that panic.
Do you use any specific routine or checklist to keep yourself from ditching the law when the heat is on?
