(3/4) I fixed it by tracking those micro-behaviors. Here's a Google app script you can use to create a Google sheet you can use to track them.

(2/4) It's a little gremlin that's been feeding on dozens of micro-behaviors...feelings, thoughts, actions throughout your session (and even the days before). Eventually it breaks free and destroys the house.

Kind of a big deal
Update on the NPM attack: The attack fortunately failed, with almost no victims.🔒 It began with a phishing email from a fake npm support domain that stole credentials and gave attackers access to publish malicious package updates. The injected code targeted web crypto activity,

Every trader's internal monologue at 3:47 PM: "Okay, market's about to close. Should I hold this overnight or close it now? What if it gaps up? But what if it gaps down? Fuck it, I'll hold. Wait, no, close it. Actually..." *closes at break-even* *gaps up 3% overnight*

"Just trust your gut" is the worst trading advice ever. Your gut is full of evolutionary biases designed to keep you alive in caves... Not profitable in markets. Fear, greed, and FOMO aren't intuition. They're bugs in your mental software.

Morning traders vs Afternoon traders: Morning: Fresh, focused, following rules Afternoon: Tired, forcing trades, breaking rules Your brain has a battery. When it's drained, your decisions go to shit. Know when to unplug.

That moment when you realize you've been staring at charts for 6 hours... Made 12 trades... And you're net -$47 for the day. Plus commissions. Sometimes the best trade is no trade.

5 emotions that predict overtrading: 1. Greed (after a big win) 2. Frustration (after a loss) 3. Boredom (during slow markets) 4. Overconfidence (after a winning streak) 5. FOMO (seeing others' wins on social media) Recognize the feeling before it empties your account.

Only 10-20% of retail traders keep a detailed trading journal. Guess which group has the higher win rates? Spoiler: It's not the 80% flying blind. You can't improve what you don't measure.

Most traders are backwards. They spend hours analyzing charts... And zero minutes analyzing themselves. Your biggest leak isn't your entry technique. It's the voice in your head that says "just one more trade" when you should stop.

Trader progression: - Week 1: "I'm gonna be rich" - Month 1: "This is harder than I thought" - Month 3: "Maybe I should track my trades" - Month 6: "Holy shit, I've been making the same mistakes for months" Sound familiar?

The "afternoon slump" is real. Most trading mistakes happen between 11:30 AM - 2:00 PM when: - Volume drops - Boredom kicks in - Decision fatigue builds Smart traders either take a break or stop trading entirely during this window.

Revenge trading timeline: - Original loss: 2:15 PM - "I'll make it back" thought: 2:16 PM - Next impulsive trade: 2:17 PM - Bigger loss: 2:22 PM Average time between loss and revenge trade? Under 3 minutes. Your worst enemy isn't the market. It's your next move.

Hot take: Your trading setup doesn't matter if you can't control your emotions. You could have the best strategy in the world... But if you move your stops, overtrade when bored, or revenge trade after losses... You're just an expensive way to donate money to the market.

You know that feeling when you close a winning trade before target... Then watch it run another $500 in your favor? That's not "missing out." That's fear disguised as "taking profits." Your brain is literally working against your wallet.

37% of traders admit to making impulsive decisions during market volatility. The other 63% are lying to themselves. Impulse trades lose 25% more money than planned trades. Track your emotions before you track your P&L.
