Why do losses occur?

[Mary]

self-control is honestly the hardest lesson in this game. once real money is moving on the screen, feelings usually take the wheel and ruin the plan. trading isn't about proving how strong ur mindset is, it's about survival. building an idiot-proof mechanical routine is just way more practical than crying over a blown account later.

losses are unavoidable, but the damage usually comes from what happens after the first loss. Once position size increases or the trader starts forcing setups to recover quickly, a normal losing trade turns into an account problem. Mechanical risk limits are much more reliable than trying to control emotions in real time
