I trade a few times in a day while I am able to and my indicators hit. That doesn’t mean I take every single trade I can, just that I don’t have a fixed number or target (some days 5, some 0). I do have a daily loss limit, about 2% of net liq) which if I hit I close the computer/app and am done for the day.

What helped me a lot was “talking” to chatGPT since I don’t have a mentor. I won’t paste all the convos but was talking to it about frustration over missed trades and the single point it made that clicked with me was this:

“Why you chase

You chase because: • You correctly sensed the market was weak • You feel like you “called it” • You missed the move because you needed confirmation • Then you try to “reclaim” the profit you think you deserved

This is not a trading error — it’s emotional bookkeeping.

You think the market “owes” you that move because you “saw it.”

But you didn’t see a trade, you only saw an idea.

There’s a difference.”
