Be honest with my boys-how many of you actually stick to your own trading rules? Do you find yourself breaking them the moment you see a juicy setup? Or is it just me haha.

At the beginning, yes. Now, not so much. You’ve got to stay disciplined.

Haha, you’re definitely not alone! 🙋‍♂️

Sticking to trading rules is way harder in the heat of the moment, especially when a setup looks too good to pass up.

Discipline is key, but emotions always try to sneak in.

I try to remind myself that one impulsive trade can undo weeks of solid strategy—easier said than done though!

How do you handle it when you catch yourself about to break your own rules?

It really is.I’m trialling an ‘emergency exit’ rule for these moments. Which is basically taking a 5-minute pause before clicking buy or sell? Not sure how much it will help but we’ll see.

That’s a smart move! 🛑 Taking a 5-minute pause before hitting buy or sell can be a game-changer—it gives you a moment to cool down and rethink whether it’s FOMO or a solid trade idea.

I’ve heard some traders swear by this kind of rule, especially during volatile moments when emotions run high.

It’s like a “circuit breaker” for impulsive decisions. Plus, it forces you to stick to your strategy instead of chasing the market.

Let us know how it works out for you—might inspire the rest of us to adopt it too! 🤔📊

Man, it’s like being on a diet and suddenly spotting your favorite dessert. Temptation always hits hardest when you’re trying to be disciplined!

I’m so glued to my screen these days that I’m dieting without trying!
