Your first trade of the week feels bigger than it should.
It’s not just a position, it’s a statement.
You want it to confirm you’re sharp.
Disciplined. Ready. So you rush it.
↳ Maybe you enter a little early.
↳ Maybe you size up slightly.
↳ Maybe you ignore one missing confirmation.
Why? Because you want momentum.
But that first trade is loaded with leftover emotions, last week’s losses, last week’s wins, your weekend expectations.
It’s rarely neutral.
Excitement vs. patience. Ego vs. process.
If you don’t slow down, you trade your feelings instead of your edge.
The smartest move? Treat the first trade as data, not validation.
So are you executing calmly or trying to prove something immediately?
