Spot on. Trading psychology is often the hardest hurdle, and letting a single losing trade derail your emotional state is a fast track to violating risk limits. In prop firm trading, keeping a cool head is vital because a string of revenge trades can quickly breach daily loss limits or trailing drawdowns.
Evaluating your execution quality over a large sample size rather than obsessing over individual outcomes helps keep your risk and position sizing consistent. How do you personally reset your mindset after taking a rough loss?
