Key moments

• Trading without reviewing is total guesswork; memory is selective and heavily influenced by emotion [02:05].
• Professionals judge themselves by execution (following rules, managing risk) rather than short-term profit and loss [05:55].
• Reviewing trades consistently reveals behavioral patterns, such as how sleep deprivation directly triggers trading tilt [16:23].
• Small, compounded refinements are far more powerful than major, dramatic strategy overhauls [11:03].
• Limiting your trading window to peak performance hours (e.g., 3 hours max) prevents giving back profits during choppy, low-probability sessions [25:30].
• A trading journal should record enough detail to explain why you entered, how you managed, and why you exited a trade [32:12].
• Always review both winning and losing trades; winning trades can often mask poor decisions and lucky mistakes [34:20].
