How many trades did you take this week? Too many, or just right?

It's not your strategy. It's what you do after a loss.

3 signs of overtrading: 1. Trading out of boredom 2. No clear reason for the entry 3. More trades after losses If your trade count goes up on red days, the trades are chasing money, not setups.

Friday trades: do you trade into the weekend close, or stop early?

6 questions before you hit buy. One honest "no" is enough to skip the trade. Save this for your next session 🔖

What's harder for you? A) Setting a daily loss limit B) Actually stopping when you hit it

A daily loss limit only works if it's set before the session. 1. Pick a number 2. Go tighter than your prop firm's limit 3. Hit it. Stop. The third step is where most traders fail.

What's the biggest drawdown you've ever come back from?

The recovery trap: Lose 10% → need +11.1% to get back Lose 30% → need +42.9% Lose 50% → need +100% Every loss is harder to win back than the one before it. Protect the downside first.

Be honest: do you calculate your lot size before every trade, or eyeball it? 👇

The lot size should come out of a formula, not out of how confident you feel. Lot size = Risk in $ ÷ (Stop in pips × Pip value) $10,000 account, 1% risk, 25 pip stop on EURUSD = 0.40 lots. Bookmark this 🔖

How much do you risk per trade? A) Under 1% B) 1 to 2% C) 3 to 5% D) I don't really measure it

10 losing trades in a row: Risk 1% per trade → down 9.6% Risk 5% per trade → down 40.1% Same trader. Same streak. Completely different account. Losing streaks are guaranteed. Blowing up isn't.

Everyone knows these 3 rules. Almost nobody follows them on a losing day. That's why PipsGuard enforces them for you. Break one and the order doesn't go through.

Hot take: most traders don't need a better strategy. They need fewer trades.

Every order in PipsGuard is checked against your rules. Break one and it doesn't go through. No warning to click past. No "are you sure?"
