Process over outcome

{quote} A clean cutoff like that only works if you've actually made peace with missing moves, which most people never do. Most traders who say they have a hard stop still feel that itch and rationalize an exception eventually. Sounds like you've actually trained that out. Do you notice a difference in how the next day's trade goes depending on whether you got a setup early versus had to sit through the whole window high alert?

{quote} my mindeset is still the same every single day. there is no fomo. my trading rule pretty much simple, only take 1 trade a day. i just set price alert on certain level in that 2 hour window. if alert trigger, i checked, calulate everything, take the trade, set tp/sl and i walk away. well of course in my early days i look at the chart non stop. there always an urge to take a trade or find a setup when there non at all. but after years of trading i outgrew that kind of habit.

{quote} That progression from staring at the chart constantly to just walking away after setting tp and sl is basically the whole arc most traders are trying to compress into months instead of years. The price alert step is smart too, it removes the temptation to manufacture a setup out of boredom since you're not even looking until something triggers. Curious what actually changed for you internally during those years, was it more that you built enough proof through your own track record that the system works, or was it more about getting comfortable...
