Define risk before every trade
Choose the exit level and position size before considering
an entry. Risk only an amount you can afford to lose, and
never move a stop simply to avoid accepting a loss.

Use a journal to review your decisions
Record the setup, reasoning, planned risk and result.
Review patterns over a meaningful sample and focus on
whether you followed the process, not on one winning or
losing trade.
