The Setup You Keep Taking "Because It Usually Works" Has a 38% Win Rate in Your Own Journal

Gut feeling versus actual data is one of the most humbling comparisons a trader can run.

Traders consistently overestimate how well their favorite, most comfortable setup actually performs, simply because the wins feel more memorable than the losses.

Pull your journal. Filter by setup type. Look at the actual numbers for the setup you'd swear is your best one.

Sometimes it confirms what you believed. Often, it doesn't.

Either way, you now know instead of guess — and guessing with real money attached is an expensive habit.
