COGNITIVE BIASES QUIETLY RUNNING YOUR TRADING

[GrahamW1972]

What kill criteria do you use, a drawdown figure or a number of trades below expectancy? And how do you step away from the screen, an alarm or a physical walk?

Fairman, the illusion of control one hit me different. I set a hard rule: phone goes face down in another room once the trade's on, only check it when the alarm goes off at the target or stop time. Cost me a few winners that I'd have scratched early out of nerves, but saved me a lot more in stops I'd have moved just to feel better about things.
