🧠 Your trade nears its profit target, then turns and hits the stop. Holding for a planned target is reasonable. Believing the market must reach it is not: no outcome is guaranteed.

That belief can point to a need for certainty. You may accept losses, yet hesitate to close a winning trade in case it climbs further. Fear of missing out can push you to break your own rules.

Tino’s time-stop exercise helps examine this reaction. For a series of trades, set a fixed holding period and exit when the timer ends. Keep your risk limits in place. The exercise is about behaviour, not profit.

Track how you feel at the timed exit and whether you delay. Did the possibility of further gains make you ignore your commitment? If the target is reached later, that does not mean you could have known it would happen.
