A short YouTube monologue (by Kardec Trader) warning traders against breaking their own trading rules even once. The speaker argues that a single breach, rewarded by an immediate gain, can create a harmful habit by subconsciously reinforcing rule-breaking.
One of the worst things that we could do as traders is bend our rules just one time to make money. It might give you that instant gratification to make money, and you might feel good in that moment. But breaking habits and instilling bad habits is detrimental to our trading. You know, doing something one time and getting rewarded on it subconsciously rewards our brain thinking that's the right decision. I just can't do it.
