You’ll learn how to separate your identity from trading outcomes and develop a systematic approach that removes emotion from decision-making.

Q: Will this book help me stick to my trading plan?
Yes. One of the core focuses is building discipline and accountability systems that keep you aligned with your trading rules. You’ll discover why traders abandon their plans during stressful moments and learn practical strategies to maintain consistency even when markets challenge your emotions.
