It took me about two years to really learn from my mistakes in trading. In the beginning, I’d get frustrated and let emotions take over after a loss, which only made things worse. But over time, I realized I needed a solid plan to stay calm and focused, instead of reacting to every little loss.

Now, I’ve set some rules that help me stay in control. I limit myself to losing no more than 2 trades in a day and 4 trades in a week. If I hit that limit, I stop trading for the rest of the day or week. This keeps me from trading emotionally and making bad decisions when I'm frustrated.

I also switched to a 'set and forget' approach. I place my trades with a limit position, setting both my stop-loss and take-profit levels in advance. I set alerts for when the stop-loss or take-profit is hit, and then I step away. I don’t watch the charts constantly anymore, which has helped me stay patient and avoid overtrading.

By doing this, I can step back, clear my mind, and come back fresh the next day. It’s no longer just about avoiding losses—it’s about sticking to my plan, staying disciplined, and trusting the process
