Lesson 2 · where the edge breaks

The 9 failure points

Each one is a habit of mind, not a flaw in the setup. Read them as a checklist after every losing day: which one showed up?

  1. 1Not truly accepting risk
    Tell: Stop gets moved
  2. 2Thinking in certainties
    Tell: “This one has to work”
  3. 3Needing to be right
    Tell: Holding a loser
  4. 4Fear distorts perception
    Tell: Skipped a valid setup
  5. 5No self-imposed structure
    Tell: Trading past your stop time
  6. 6Blaming the market
    Tell: “They ran my stop”
  7. 7Over-relying on analysis
    Tell: One more indicator
  8. 8Euphoria after winning
    Tell: Size goes up after a streak
  9. 9Revenge trading
    Tell: Instant re-entry after a loss

Summary of key ideas from Trading in the Zone by Mark Douglas (2000), paraphrased for study use.

Read before the open

The five fundamental truths

  1. 01

    Anything can happen.

  2. 02

    You don't need to know what comes next to make money.

  3. 03

    Wins and losses are randomly distributed for any edge.

  4. 04

    An edge only tilts the odds in your favor.

  5. 05

    Every moment in the market is unique.

The 20-trade exercise

Trade a fixed sample of at least 20 trades with the exact same rules and zero deviation. Judge the sample, never the single trade. That's the point of one micro contract: the size is small enough that no single trade can matter.
