Three losing trades. Is that bad?

Understand what your process can produce before reacting to the latest result.

That depends on one thing:
Do you actually know what kind of trader you are?
And what system you are trading?
Or are you just taking trades?

Because if you don’t know your framework,
you also don’t know what to expect.
And that’s where problems start.

A trend-following approach will have losing streaks.
A reversal approach behaves differently.
A continuation system has its own rhythm.
Every edge comes with a distribution.

If your expectations don’t match that distribution,
you start to:
doubt valid trades
skip the next setup
or force trades to “make it back”

That’s not a strategy problem.
That’s a mismatch between expectations and reality.

Know your system.
Know its behavior.
Know its drawdowns.

Then a losing streak is not emotional.
It’s just part of the game.
