Unit 2 · Level 3 · Handling wins
Review: winning without losing it
Euphoria is tilt with better marketing: same missing plan, nicer soundtrack. Profits are your money the second they land, no 'house' bucket. Pay yourself a fixed share on a fixed schedule, and keep spending anchored to your worst quarter, not your best. And audit every win: was it process, or a bailout? Handled well, winning is survivable.
Free to play. No ads, no token, no account needed to start.
What you get asked
Match the winning-streak trap to its antidote
Four traps, one root: letting recent wins rewrite rules that were made while calm. The antidotes all hand authority back to the written plan.
Deposit €4,000, account now €10,000. How much of it deserves your full risk discipline?
There's no house money. If the answer were anything else, a drawdown would treat the 'free' euros exactly as painfully as the deposited ones.
A winning streak plus a friendly market regime mostly measures the ___, not the trader.
Credit the tide before the swimmer. The win review exists precisely to separate the two before your position size starts believing the wrong story.
Which trader is handling success correctly?
Leo is the overconfidence loop, Zoe is house money with a nickname, Max is lifestyle creep on wheels. Mia banked reality and changed nothing that was working.
What single question turns a pile of wins into useful information?
Repeatability is the whole audit. A win you can repeat is an edge; a win you can only explain afterwards is weather. Grade decisions, keep the euros, stay small enough to survive being wrong. 🐜
The rest of this unit
Winning is dangerous too: euphoria, house money, and the discipline of paying yourself.
