Why Break-Even Trades Still Need Reviewing
A trade that closes at break-even may feel like a win because no planned loss was recorded.
But the outcome doesn't tell the whole story.
Did I move the stop according to my rules? Did I exit because the setup weakened, or because I became uncomfortable? Would the same decision make sense across similar trades?
Sometimes break-even is the correct outcome. Sometimes it reflects fear or poor management.
I review the decision, not just the final number.
