Am I only researching evidence that confirms the trade I already want to make?

1. When you research a trade idea, how do you look for information?

2. After you open a position, how do you treat news that contradicts your thesis?

3. How often do you deliberately seek out the opposing case, a bear case if you're long, a bull case if you're short, before entering?

4. When a trade moves against you, what's your first instinct?

5. Do the accounts, forums, or communities you follow mostly agree with your trading style and views?

6. When you're proven wrong on a trade, how do you usually explain it afterward?

7. Have you ever ignored a stop-loss or invalidation level because you found new information that agreed with your original view?
