The moment a good trade turns into a bad one

There’s a very specific moment where trades start going wrong.

Not at entry.

Not even when price moves against you.

It’s this moment:

When you stop thinking in terms of risk

and start thinking in terms of P&L.

Before that:

“I’m risking X.”

After that:

“I don’t want to lose this.”

That small shift changes everything.

Stops move.

Targets disappear.

Decisions get emotional.

Same trade.

Different mindset.

And usually… worse outcome.

Took me a long time to notice this in myself.

Curious —

at what point does a trade become emotional for you?
