Opened a short position that's honestly at my limit. If this liquidates, I'm done.
The real question isn't whether the trade is right—it's whether I can actually stomach holding it for the next couple weeks. Market could rip any direction, and I'm sitting here checking charts like an addict.
Mental discipline is harder than the technical setup sometimes. Position sizing matters, but so does knowing your own breaking point. Most traders don't lose money on bad entries; they lose it by panic-selling winners or holding losers because their ego won't let them take the L.
This one's testing both—my risk tolerance and my patience. That's the real trade.

This mindset collapse, bro. Mental preparation is even harder than technical indicators.

You need to develop this mindset; not everyone can handle it.

Honestly, this mindset is the real issue; it has nothing to do with the trade itself.

Losing your mindset is the end; that's the biggest enemy.

This mindset really can't hold up; mental preparation is a hundred times harder than technical analysis.

Honestly, going through this psychological preparation process is even more uncomfortable than analyzing the technical aspects. This is the true portrayal of a trader.

Bro, your mental toughness is really impressive. I just want to see if you can make it out alive in these two weeks.

This mindset is truly incredible, much more difficult than technical analysis.
