Spot on. Trying to prove your analysis is right is one of the fastest ways to blow an evaluation account. The market is completely indifferent to your feelings, opinions, or how much effort you put into charting. Trading successfully is entirely about managing probabilities, accepting that losses are part of the business, and cutting trades quickly when the edge disappears.
In prop firm trading, this mindset shift is crucial. When you cling to a losing position to prove a point, you run straight into strict daily loss limits and drawdown caps. Protecting your capital and respecting risk management rules always comes before ego.
