Here’s the uncomfortable truth:


You’re not trying to make money.
You’re trying to protect an image of yourself:
“I’m smart.”
“I understand the market.”
“I shouldn’t be losing.”
That identity forces you to:
1. hold losers (because closing = admitting you’re wrong)
2. cut winners early (because profit feels fragile)
3. overtrade (because you need to prove something)
So your PnL becomes a psychological mirror, not a financial result.
