True Story: My worst trading month (-40%) became my breakthrough after fixing these 3 mental traps (see my transformation).

Trap #1: "I Need to Recover Losses Fast!"

The Fix: The 24-Hour Rule

• After 2 losing trades: Stop trading for 24 hours

• Do this instead:

  1. Review losses using my Post-Trade Checklist

  2. Watch my mental reset routine

Example: How this rule saved me from a $5k mistake (read story)

Trap #2: "This Trade Will Make Me Rich!"

The Fix: The 1% Excitement Test

• Rate your excitement about a trade from 1-10

• If above 6: Walk away (emotion is clouding judgment)

📌 Action Task:

• Analyze your last 3 trades with this Excitement Journal

Trap #3: "I’ll Just Watch the Charts a Little Longer..."

The Fix: Set Alarms Like a Pro

1. Pre-market: 15 min prep (my routine)

2. Trading hours: 3 max screen time sessions

3. Post-market: 30 min review

My Screen Time Stats:

• Before: 6+ hrs/day → Now: 1.5 hrs (tools I use)

Homework for Day 10

1. Implement one psychology hack today

2. Join my Free Mental Training Workshop

3. Tomorrow: *"How to Spot High-Probability Setups in 10 Minutes"*
