Lesson 8 – Isolation & Overthinking

Problem
Trading alone leads to over-analysis and second-guessing.

Cause

• No feedback loop.
• Endless chart watching.

How the Brain Works

• Stress rises when isolated.
• Brain tries to create certainty through overthinking.

Real-Life Example
Dovydas spends 12 hours alone with charts. He doubts every entry, missing clear setups, then feels drained.

Practical Solutions

1. Trading Hours Rule – limit screen time.
2. Peer Feedback – share journals with mentor/group.
3. Set Clear Daily Routine – entry time, review time.
4. Decision Confidence Practice – take the trade, review later.

Key Takeaway: Isolation breeds doubt 🤯. Structure and support create clarity 🧘.
