Trading is hard for a reason most people never understand.

In real life, good decisions usually feel good.

You work hard → you get rewarded.

You behave well → things improve.

Trading breaks that contract.

In trading, you can make a perfect decision and still lose.

And that does something dangerous to the human brain.

Because the pain isn’t about money.

It’s about being punished for doing the right thing.

That moment is where most traders break.

Not on the loss.

But on what they do next to escape how the loss feels.
