Why rules break under pressure
The conditions that reliably produce a broken rule.
Rules are not broken at random. They break under a small set of conditions: after a loss, after an unusually large win, when a position is close to a stop, and when the trader is watching a market they are not positioned in.
This is useful because a predictable failure can be engineered around. If your rule reliably breaks in the ten minutes after a loss, the fix is a mandatory pause after a loss — a mechanism, not a promise. Discipline built out of mechanisms survives days when resolve does not.
