Most Traders Don’t Blow Up From Bad Trades.

They Blow Up From Attachment.

In trading, the outcome is an illusion.

You can’t control what the market does next. You can only control how you show up—position sizing, risk limits, execution. Everything else is noise.

Buddhism teaches non-attachment—not because you shouldn’t care, but because clinging leads to suffering. Same goes for trading.

“Let go or be dragged.” — Zen Proverb

When you need a trade to work, it owns you. Your ego hijacks your process, and suddenly, you’re not managing risk—you’re gambling with hope.

The goal isn’t to win every trade. The goal is to stay in the game long enough for your edge to play out.

A good trade can lose money. A bad trade can make money.
What matters is the discipline behind it.

• Enter with intent.

• Risk what you can afford to lose.

• Exit without regret.

The market doesn’t owe you clarity. But your process should give you peace.

When you stop trying to force the outcome, you become dangerous—because now you’re trading from awareness, not attachment.
