Key takeaway

Review focus: A reset routine protects the next session from the last session's emotion.

Why this framework matters

The first task after a mistake is classification, not punishment. For 2-step challenges, the practical focus is to plan for two phases without changing behavior after the first objective is reached. Keep the process written down so it can be reviewed without relying on memory.

How to adapt it

A process error and a normal losing trade require different responses. For 2-step challenges, the practical focus is to plan for two phases without changing behavior after the first objective is reached. Keep the process written down so it can be reviewed without relying on memory.

Rule-safe reminder

The reset should reduce complexity for the next session. For 2-step challenges, the practical focus is to plan for two phases without changing behavior after the first objective is reached. Phase rules can differ, so both phases should be reviewed before starting.

Step-by-step routine

  1. Step 1

    Classify the issue as market loss, rule mistake, size mistake, timing mistake, or emotional trade.

  2. Step 2

    Write the one trigger that led to the mistake.

  3. Step 3

    Choose one temporary guardrail for the next session.

  4. Step 4

    Trade smaller or stop if the same trigger appears again.

  5. Step 5

    Review whether the guardrail worked before removing it.

Practical checklist

Mistakes to avoid
