Confidence after losses should not mean convincing yourself the next trade must win. It means knowing what you trade, how much you risk, and what your review says about recent execution.

Review the last ten comparable trades. Were setups valid? Was size consistent? Were rules followed? If the process held, a losing streak may be variance. If it did not, your next job is one correction, not a heroic recovery.

Consider reduced size while you practice the correction. This keeps a loss from turning into trading tilt. Our guide to recovering from a trading slump goes deeper on rebuilding process trust.
