• Trade only your A+ setup, not every candle.
• Avoid revenge trading after a loss.
• Set max trades per day (e.g. 2–3).
• Stop trading after hitting daily max loss.
• Follow your SOP like a robot, feel emotions later.
• Journal every trade (reason in, reason out).
• Focus on executing process, not chasing profit.
• Accept that small loss is part of the business.
Basic Rules
• Risk per trade: 0.5% – 1% of account.
• Max daily loss: 2% – 3%.
• If hit daily loss → stop trading for the day.
