Guide

Early exits are often a process bug, not a courage problem.

If the setup keeps working after you leave, the journal should tell you whether the issue is the target, the rule, or your behavior.

Measure the gap

Compare realized R with MFE. A consistent gap is evidence, not a feeling.

Name the cause

Some exits are rational because the target was poor. Others happen because profit became emotionally uncomfortable.

Write a hold rule

A trailing stop, partial plan, or target condition is easier to follow than the instruction to simply be braver.
