How to control emotions and avoid overtrading in forex

[PTScalper]

Hi traders, scalpers etc.

What are your tricks, to control your emotions and avoid overtrading once you are scalping forex markets?

What works for me:

1) Scale account just from profit. Once i have there only deposited money by me, i trade smaller positions, less risky.
2) Another advantage of risking mainly profit is that i have feel less stress.

Overtrading for me is almost always **revenge size or boredom size**, not “too many good setups.”

Hard rules that stuck:
- Max trades per session written before the open
- After 2 losses: stop or half-size only (no “one more to recover”)
- If I feel the urge to click, I force a 3-minute timer — most urges die

Journal tag I use: `FOMO` / `revenge` / `plan` — if FOMO > plan for a week, size goes down, not strategy hunting.

What’s your personal circuit breaker — daily loss $, or trade count?
Anyone actually enforced a cool-down timer, or does it always get skipped mid-session?
