After the trade is closed, there’s a moment nobody talks about, no anger, no panic, just silence, you replay everything in your head, the setup, the entry, the exact second you should’ve exited, you realize something uncomfortable, you didn’t lose because you didn’t know, you lost because you hesitated, not once, not loudly, but just enough to break the plan, that’s the dangerous part of trading, mistakes don’t feel dramatic, they feel reasonable in the moment, i'll wait a bit, it’s still okay, next candle, and by the time you accept reality, the cost is already paid, trading doesn’t punish ignorance, it punishes delay, the lesson isn’t to trade better, it’s to respect decisions, when they first appear, still learning to act on time, still here..
