You’re on a roll.

Every setup clicks. Entries are sharp. Exits even better.
It feels like you’ve cracked it.

That’s the danger zone.

Because after a few wins, ego shows up dressed as confidence.
And suddenly, you’re not trading the plan anymore — you’re trading the feeling.

You stop journaling. You loosen risk rules. You skip confirmations.
Why? Because “I’ve got this.”

I’ve been there.

And I’ve burned accounts faster after hot streaks than during cold ones.

When you’re losing, fear keeps you cautious.
When you’re winning, pride pushes you off balance.

The market doesn’t care if you’re on fire or freezing.
It just wants to know – can you manage yourself today?

Wins don’t make you invincible.
They make you vulnerable, if you let them.

So next time you’re stacking green days?
Take the win. But don’t get cute.

Stay boring. Stay sharp. Stay dangerous, in control, not hyped up.

Side note: If you’ve had a few good trades lately, go read your risk rules again. Then check if you’re actually following them.
