🧠 Trading Psychology: State Cards — your secret tool for success 🚀

Success in trading depends not only on charts and strategies 📊, but also on your inner state. Fatigue, emotions, stress 😤 — all of this can cost you money.

💡 What are "state cards"?
These are simple cards or checklists that a trader uses for self-diagnosis every 15, 30, or 40 minutes ⏱️. They help to notice in time:

that you are tired 😵

started trading on emotions 😡

entering into trades without a signal 🤔

catching yourself on FOMO 😨

🃏 Examples of status cards:
Every 30 minutes — ask yourself 5 questions:

✅ Am I calm or tense?
✅ Am I trading according to a strategy or improvising?
✅ Is there an objective setup, or do I "want to enter"?
✅ Am I tired? Should I take a break?
✅ I do not violate the risk rules?

👁 Answer honestly. If at least 2 answers are concerning — exit the market and reset your mind.

📌 How to implement this?

📅 Set the alarm for every 30 minutes

📋 Make cards in the form of stickers or a template on the phone

✍️ Mark the status in the trader's log

☕ Take microbreaks every 90–120 minutes

🎯 Result?

Fewer emotional trades

More discipline
