Why a Bad Win Can Be More Dangerous Than a Loss visual guide
A visual from the Trading Spoonfeed method

When an undisciplined trade makes money, the brain may learn that breaking rules works. That lesson becomes dangerous at larger size.

What to remember

  • Notice averaging down, moving stops, and entering without a thesis.
  • Ask whether you would repeat the process 100 times.
  • Classify wins by execution quality, not profit alone.
A profitable outcome does not automatically make the decision good.

Trading is probabilistic. No setup guarantees a result, and this guide is educational rather than financial advice. Build a process, define risk before entry, and review your decisions honestly.
