We carry shame like it’s part of the trade.
A bad entry. A missed stop. A drawdown we didn’t see coming.

But here’s the truth: trading is not about perfection.
It’s about playing a game where the best players still lose — often.

You don’t judge a poker player for folding a bad hand.
You don’t shame a baseball player for striking out — even the greats fail 70% of the time.
So why do we expect ourselves to be right every time in a game built on probabilities?

A bad trade isn’t a moral failure.
It’s part of the math.
The only real mistake is letting shame stop you from taking the next good trade.
