The Cost of One Extra Trade
You enter a perfect EUR/USD setup at 1.0850 with a 30-pip stop. Two minutes later GBP/JPY flashes a "similar" pattern. Without checking your daily trade limit, you click buy. By the close of the session you have taken four trades instead of one, your risk has ballooned to 6 % of equity, and your once-clear mind is now second-guessing every candle. One extra trade turned a controlled day into an emotional roller-coaster.
