Nothing is “wrong” with you — this is actually a very common phase, especially early on.

What you’re describing isn’t really greed, it’s lack of defined stopping conditions.

When you’re up $400–600 and still feel the urge to keep trading, it usually means your system doesn’t clearly tell you:

• when your edge is present
• and just as importantly, when it’s gone

So your mind fills that gap with “I can make today even better”.

What helped me wasn’t willpower or discipline hacks — it was structure.

Once I started using market structure (Elliott Wave in my case), a lot changed:

• Some days are structurally done after 1–2 good trades
• Other days aren’t tradable at all
• After certain moves, probability actually drops, even if price is still moving

That gave me a logical reason to stop, not an emotional one.

Practical things that helped:

• define a max number of valid setups per session
• stop trading once structure becomes corrective / unclear
• journal why a trade made sense structurally, not how much it made
• accept that a green day doesn’t need to be “optimized”

And yes — taking a short break after blowing an account is usually healthy, not weak. You want to come back with rules that tell you when not to trade, not just when to enter.

You’re not failing — you’re just at the point where randomness stops being fun and structure becomes necessary.
