The real test of any trading system begins during drawdowns.

A 7-8% drawdown in a backtest feels harmless because there’s no real money or emotion attached to it.

But the moment your live account goes around that level, psychology takes over.

Suddenly every trade feels wrong, confidence disappears, and even a proven system starts looking doubtful.

Most traders don’t fail because of bad strategies.
They fail because they can’t survive the drawdown mentally.

How do you deal with drawdowns in live trading?

In a way, I also have a strange feeling as I would get no credit for introducing this to Indian Markets.
Though there would be posts, some YouTube videos and also some Trading Conferences recordings to prove that in public space, wondering how should I have positioned myself differently.
Anyways, I guess this one I have to let go.
