Why your brain fights you, what tilt actually is, and the mechanical circuit breakers that stop one bad afternoon from erasing a good month. Research-grounded, no hype: loss aversion, revenge trading, losing-streak math, routines, and what to do after a blow-up.
Module 1: Why your brain fights you
Loss aversion, the disposition effect, overconfidence, recency, the gambler's fallacy and sunk cost, each with the research behind it and what it looks like on a trading screen.
Module 2: Tilt
What tilt is, what your body is doing during it, the cascade that follows a loss, revenge trading, FOMO, boredom trades, and an honest self-assessment.
Module 3: Circuit breakers
Daily loss limits, consecutive-loss stops, time-outs and platform removal: why the rules must be mechanical, pre-committed and enforced by friction rather than willpower.
Module 4: Process over outcome
Grade trades on execution, think in expectancy, understand the real probability of an eight-trade losing streak, and separate who you are from what the P&L says.
Module 5: Routines and state
Sleep, screen time, a pre-market prime, reset protocols with honest evidence caveats, post-session decompression, journaling emotions, weeks off, and substances.
Module 6: Long-term sanity
Recovering from a blown account, sizing down to rebuild confidence, social media and comparison, when trading is not for you, and getting help for gambling-like behaviour.
