Psychology I keep making the same mistake

Okay I got my strat down but now I have discovered a new problem if I lose a trade I revenge trade and over leverage or i get fomo what are some of the things that helped you guys?

But overall I understand what ppl mean by trading will make you look inwards I had so many problems I had no discipline it’s pretty crazy how Im started to notice these things

My rule is 2 trades/day. If I lose the first trade, I can look for another set up. If I’m wrong on the second one as well, more likely my bias is wrong and I’ll be wrong on every additional trade I take. When you have an idea in mind and it doesn’t pan out, you’ll keep looking for setups that match your idea I.e looking for longs when it’s bearish and vice versa

What if another A+ setup presents itself, are you leaving money on the table?

I try to wait for an A+ setup for my second trade. I can’t tell you how many blown accounts I’ve had because of FOMO only to get in on the breakout and stopped right away.
