[supprimé]

1. My "safe" strategy was bleeding me dry
   73% win rate on 10-pip scalps. After spread and commissions? Net negative. I was collecting wins and losing money.
2. Green days made me reckless
   After +2%, my position size jumped 60% next session. Win rate crashed from 54% to 29%. Cocky = broke.
3. The 2 PM death zone
   Between 2-4 PM EST, my win rate was 31%. Rest of day: 58%. Tired, forcing trades, revenge trading small losses.
4. "Intuition" was just fear
   Skipped 12 valid setups. 9 hit target. I was afraid after red streaks. Not intuition — trauma.
5. Revenge trading loops
   Lost >2% in one trade? 82% chance I took another within 15 minutes. Average additional loss: -1.4%.


The fix:
• Hard stop at 2 PM. No exceptions.
• Position size locked at 1%. Auto-calculated.
• Pre-market checklist only. If it's not on the list, no click.
90 days later: +14% month, no emotional trading, sleeping better.
