Besides daily drawdown, what fails most traders?
Daily drawdown is usually the obvious killer, but I feel like there are other things that take out traders just as often.
Overtrading, revenge trading after losses, ignoring rules for “one recovery trade”, or simply sizing too big on good setups.
From your experience, what do you think actually causes most traders to fail before they even get close to consistency?
