Pull The Trade History Off A Blown Account, And The Strategy Usually Looks Fine
The setups are reasonable.
Entries are close enough.
What's wrong is somewhere else entirely: a stop widened twice on the same trade, a loser held six days because closing it would make the loss count, a winner sold at 12% of its target out of pure relief, a revenge trade sized twice as large as anything the plan allows, fired off nine minutes after the loss that caused it.
None of that shows up on a backtest.
It only shows up in the account, at 2:47 in the afternoon, when the plan and the person holding it stop agreeing with each other.
You'll go through the six behaviors that do the actual damage, revenge trading, overtrading, FOMO, cutting winners short, moving stops, and breaking your own rules, plus the tilt window that triggers most of them.
You'll run a calculator that prices out what each pattern has already cost you, in your own numbers, not a hypothetical trader's.
You'll take a tilt-score self-assessment that flags the post-loss window where most of the damage happens, and build a rules system meant to survive contact with a live account instead of just sounding good on a calm Sunday.
Then you'll run a 6-week reset, tracked right in the browser, instead of deciding to just be better tomorrow.
Introducing The Trading Psychology System.
A Trading Habits Course
The Trading Psychology System
Revenge trading, overtrading, FOMO, cutting winners short, moving stops, and breaking your own rules, each one priced out in dollars and traced back to the same short window after a loss.
- Length 10 modules, built for genuine depth, not padding
- Format A private, self-paced course page with a working cost calculator for each behavior, a tilt-score self-assessment, and a rule-builder walkthrough built into the lessons instead of linked out from them
- Access Instant, right after checkout, yours to re-read for good
- Covers Loss aversion and why losses hit roughly twice as hard as equivalent gains, revenge trading, overtrading, FOMO, the disposition effect, stop-widening, rule-breaking under pressure, the post-loss tilt window, a durable rules system, and a 6-week behavioral reset
- Author TradingHabits.com
Built for one job: catching the six behaviors that cost more than any strategy ever could, in the ten or fifteen minutes where they happen.
Try It First
Read The Setup, Then Watch Yourself React
This is one real drill pulled from the 15-setup Setup Practice Lab in Module 4, not the whole lab. Every drill pairs a real candlestick setup with the exact moment a trading habit tries to make the call for you. Buy or sell before the next candle prints, then find out whether the setup or the impulse won. Try it before you buy.
What's Inside
The 10 Modules
- 01Why the account runs on psychology, not strategy: loss aversion, the value function, and the six behaviors this course is built around, so you're finally diagnosing the actual leak instead of tweaking a strategy that was never the problem.Module 1
- 02Revenge trading: the anatomy of "I'll get it back right now," and a calculator that prices out exactly what it costs, turning a feeling you've rationalized a dozen times into a number you can't argue with.Module 2
- 03Overtrading: the research on why more trades stopped meaning more money, and what the extra trades cost per month, the difference between a trader who waits and one who just clicks.Module 3
- 04FOMO: the chase that's already too late before it starts, and a quiz that separates it from a legitimate breakout entry, so you can tell the two apart in real time instead of after the fill.Module 4
- 05The disposition effect: cutting winners short and holding losers long, and what that split costs over a full month of trades, the exact asymmetry quietly working against every account that has it.Module 5
- 06Moving your stop: the one-inch rule break that isn't, and a calculator for what every widened stop exposes, so "just a little more room" stops being a free pass.Module 6
- 07Breaking your own rules: why the ones written calm are the ones broken under pressure, and what has to change about how a rule gets written for it to actually hold.Module 7
- 08Tilt: the window right after a loss that costs more than the loss did, with a scored self-assessment that tells you how wide your own window runs before it closes on its own.Module 8
- 09Building a rules system that survives contact with a live account, not a calm Sunday afternoon, so the version of you mid-trade is working from the same plan as the version who wrote it.Module 9
- 10A 6-week behavioral reset, tracked right in the browser, plus a full self-check across all six patterns, so the change gets measured week over week instead of hoped for.Module 10

Behind The Course
Where the Loss Aversion and Disposition Effect Research Came From
1979
Psychologists Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky published Prospect Theory: An Analysis of Decision under Risk in the journal Econometrica. It replaced the old assumption that people weigh gains and losses evenly with a measured one: losses register as roughly two to two and a half times more painful than an equivalent gain feels good. Kahneman later received the 2002 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for this work, Tversky having passed away in 1996.
1998
Finance professor Terrance Odean published Are Investors Reluctant to Realize Their Losses? in The Journal of Finance, built on actual trading records from roughly 10,000 brokerage accounts. He found investors sold winning positions faster than losing ones, well beyond what tax planning could explain. He named it the disposition effect. Module 5 of this course is built directly on that finding.
Nineteen Years Between the Theory and the Trading-Account Data
Nineteen years separate the theory of why losses hurt more than gains feel good from the study that measured that exact bias inside live trading accounts.
Try It: How Big a Win Offsets a Loss, By Feel
Runs on the same "roughly two to two and a half times" loss-aversion range Kahneman and Tversky's Prospect Theory established in 1979 (Module 1). A loss at the multiplier you set needs a win that much bigger just to feel emotionally even, not only financially even.
Background only. The course itself works the cost math, the tilt window, and the rule-building mechanics a live account runs on.
Common Questions
Why did it take nineteen years between the theory and the trading-specific study?
Kahneman and Tversky's 1979 prospect theory was general decision-making research, not built for markets specifically. Terrance Odean's 1998 study is what applied it directly to roughly 10,000 genuine brokerage accounts and found the disposition effect inside actual trading behavior, not a lab experiment.
What's the genuine-world multiplier from the "losses hurt more than gains feel good" finding?
Roughly two to two and a half times, per the original prospect theory research. Use the live tool above to see what dollar gain would need to happen to feel equally good against your own loss amount.
Did Kahneman win the Nobel alone for this work?
He received the 2002 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences. Amos Tversky, his research partner, had died in 1996, and the prize isn't awarded posthumously, so only Kahneman's name is on the medal even though the work was a genuine partnership.
Is the disposition effect something you can fully train yourself out of?
The course treats it as manageable, not eliminated. Module 5 is built directly on Odean's finding, and the aim is catching the pattern in your own trades before it costs money, not pretending the underlying instinct disappears.
