Your last five trades…
Have no influence on your next good setup.
Scaling up too fast is dangerous.
Don’t rush right to your end goal. Take it slow and learn the ropes.
Rule out all your errors while you’re developing. Scale when you’re ready, not when you’re riding high.

Break two tomorrow.
Ignore risk next week.
Months later,
you call it bad luck.
But it was just compounded behavior.
