You gotta be lucky if your trading psychology fixes itself because there needs to be intentions and processes behind every bodily or psychological change.
Find one weakness you have in trading, build a routine that tests it, then replace your reaction with a healthy reaction.
All strategies contain multiple patterns, profitable, breakeven, and losing patterns.
Your job is to find the profitable patterns and capitalise only on that.
Have you ever stopped to wonder why profitable traders focus on their A+ setups?
Do not skip this step.
@TheH0n3stTrader Fear can disguise itself as anything but it's always restricting in effect.
To an extent, waiting for more confirmations is just fear in disguise.

The less you do, the more stable your performance will be.
The more you do the more volatile your performance will be.
Taking 5 trades a day is also an aggressive risk management.
Some aspect of trading is misinterpreted.
Backtesting and journaling are easily the most important and misunderstood systems especially by beginner traders, whilst they're something they can't do without.

This is why risk management is important, the market didn't care how long I waited for this trade or what risk was behind it.
Which is why I risk the exact amount on every trade, I take only my A+ setups but I still understand I cannot predict its distribution of wins and loses.
I've waited two weeks for this setup.
I might miss it, lose it, win it, it doesn't matter what happens.
I'm here to take it, which is all that matters.
