There’s one trading problem I almost never see anyone talk about. Feeling like you owe yourself money. Say you’re up $100k for the month and you lock it in. Next month the market chops you up and you give back $90k. Then you grind and make the $90k back. You’d think you’d feel even. Most people don’t. They feel behind. Because they’re still thinking about the extra $100k they “should” have. So they start chasing money they think they’re owed. That’s where the bad trades come from. Bigger size. Forced setups. Trying to win it all back in one day. And even when it works, it never feels like enough. There’s always a new number to get back to. Here’s what I’d do instead. Let go of your peak. That old high is gone. Start from what you have today, trade your plan, and take what the market gives you. You can’t win a fight against a number that doesn’t exist anymore.
