Vol. 03 The Mistakes

Five mistakes. Most accounts.

Across the patterns we observe, the same five execution failures recur. None of them are strategic. All of them are behavioral — pressure breakdowns that show up at predictable points in the lifecycle.

01 / 05

Overtrading

Taking trades outside of plan due to impatience or boredom.

02 / 05

Revenge Trading

Increasing size or frequency to recover a recent loss.

03 / 05

Risk Escalation

Compounding position size after a string of wins or losses.

04 / 05

Drawdown Ignorance

Trading without awareness of trailing or static DD limits.

05 / 05

Rule Breaking

Knowingly violating system or firm rules under pressure.

"None of these are strategy problems. They are execution problems wearing strategy clothing."

The Failure Report covers each of these patterns in detail, with risk profiles and conditions that elevate each one.
