I keep overtrading after a few wins. How can I stop?
After two or three winning trades I start taking low quality setups and give everything back.
For education only. This is not financial advice. Trading carries a high risk of loss.

Overtrading usually comes from overconfidence or boredom. Rules help more than willpower:
- Set a maximum number of trades per day (for example 2 or 3).
- Set a daily loss limit and stop for the day when you reach it.
- Write a short checklist and take a trade only when every point is ticked.
- Define your trading hours and close the platform afterwards.
After a winning streak, do not increase your size. Review your journal weekly and count how many trades actually followed your plan.
