@SeanSoundPsych Ouch!!! imagine this: someone else certainly chased that spot (where you didn’t exit) and lost the same net -$3k as you but just way quicker. Who felt worse? 😆 I don’t know.
What Anthony Crudele described is the shift every independent trader has to make —and can intentionally do—when discipline stops coming from fear, survival anxiety, or the illusion of control and starts flowing from devotion.
That’s nervous-system regulation through skill and intention, not force.
When love and gratitude drive risk management, the mind integrates: purpose steadies physiology, values anchor behavior, and results follow as a side effect.
