New year, new resolution—100% discipline in your trading strategy.

First couple days? You're locked in, executing every setup with precision.

Day 3-4: Small losing trades chip away at your resolve. Conviction drops to 90%.

Day 5-6: You're second-guessing the plan. Down to 70% commitment now.

Around day 10? Reality hits. You're at 50%—half in, half doubting yourself.

Fast forward to month end, and let's be real... you're probably running on fumes. Maybe 10% of that original discipline remains, especially after a volatile market week shakes your conviction.

Haha, that hits too close to home. I'm the kind of person who only has 10% discipline left at the end of the month.

Haha, I just want to laugh. If I can't even hold on by day 3, what's the point of talking about New Year's resolutions?
