Psychology

The discipline gap — why systematic processes work and discretionary intuition often doesn't.

Difficulty intermediate

Reading order

1. Cognitive Biases — the predictable ways traders get it wrong
2. Emotional Discipline — process > outcome
3. Decision Frameworks — pre-mortems, checklists, expected value
4. Journaling — the feedback loop that compounds
5. Performance Review — periodic, structured self-audit

What you should walk away with

• Recognition of the biases most likely to cost you money.
• A working journaling template and review cadence.
• A pre-trade checklist that catches your own most common mistakes.
