If one trade can recover five losses, then trading isn’t about being right all the time it’s about protecting your downside and letting your winners do the heavy lifting.
Sometimes the problem is not the strategy it’s execution.
Hesitation. Fear. Overthinking.
But I’m not running from it. I’m facing it.
Because missing trades hurts… but ignoring the reason hurts more.
This week, I watched multiple XAUUSD setups play out right in front of me and I didn’t take them.
Not because the setups weren’t clear.
Not because I didn’t know what to do.
But because something held me back.
And that’s the truth many traders don’t like to admit.
