no fluff. no "5 tips to become a millionaire" garbage. just real talk about why trading is hard and what actually helps.
it's 2pm. you just took a loss. you know, the kind that stings. not because it was big, but because it was stupid. you broke your rule about position sizing. or you held too long. or you entered too early because you were impatient. and now you're sitting there with this feeling in your chest, this mix of anger and shame and this weird desperate energy that's like "i need to make that back right now."
you've been trading for two years. you know technical analysis. you can spot a head and shoulders in your sleep. but you can't see the pattern where you always overtrade on Mondays. or how you cut winners after they're up 2% but let losers run to -8%. that's the thing about patterns in yourself...

there's this voice. you know the one. it shows up when you're down 5% on a trade that you should have cut at -2%. "it'll come back." "i've seen this before, it always bounces here." "i can't take the loss, i'll look like an idiot." that voice is not your friend...
it's not just the money. if it was just the money, you'd feel proportionally bad. lose ₹5000, feel 5000 rupees worth of sad. but it doesn't work like that. three losses in a row and you're questioning everything. your strategy. your intelligence. whether you should even be trading...
