Unit 2 · Level 2 · Journaling
Patterns in the mirror
After fifty entries, your journal stops being a log and becomes a mirror. Losses that cluster right after big wins. A 'bored' in the emotion column before every ugly trade. Fridays that bleed. Poker players call these leaks: small, personal, repeating holes that drain a bankroll. Generic advice patches other people's holes; the journal finds yours.

What you get asked
Hunt a leak in your journal, step by step
The magic step is naming it in one sentence. A named leak becomes a trigger you can attach an if-then plan to; a vague one stays a mood.
Your journal shows losses clustering right AFTER your biggest wins. Which League 1 demon is leaking?
The post-win swagger trade is one of the most common leaks in every journal. The cure is mechanical, not moral: same checklist, same 1% size, especially after a win.
A 'bored' in the emotion column before your worst trades means boredom is a ___, not a mood.
Bored trading is paying the market for entertainment. Once the journal exposes it, 'if bored, then close the platform' is a fix you can actually run.
A guru thread lists 'the 10 mistakes all traders make'. Where should YOUR fix-list come from instead?
Maybe you never revenge-trade but always cut winners early. Fifty rows of your own data beat ten commandments written for everyone and no one.
You found the leak and wrote the fix. What makes the loop complete?
Awareness alone fixes nothing. League 1 taught you that knowing about biases doesn't switch them off. Measure the leak again; only shrinking counts. 🐜
