Prop firms changed the way traders think about time.
Day 1: +$600
Suddenly you calculate how fast you can reach the payout.
Day 2: -$300
Now youβre trying to βget back on track.β

Before every trade, ask yourself:
β Is my bias clear?β¨β Is my risk defined?β¨β Am I trading my plan or my emotions?
If you answer "no" to any of these...
Don't take the trade.
