The Illusion of Control That Destroys Traders

Traders love to believe they are “in control” once they enter a trade.

They’re not.

You control:

Risk

Position size

Execution

When you stop trading

You do not control price.

Most traders blow accounts trying to manage a trade emotionally—adding to losers, moving stops, closing winners early—because losing control feels unbearable.

Professional traders give up control before entering. They pre-accept the loss.

Life-changing insight:

The moment you accept that you can’t control outcomes, you finally control risk.
