Phase 3: The Art of the Exit
Managing, defending, and monetizing the boring trade.
The Unglamorous Part
The intellectual thrill of the hunt, the dopamine hit of placing the order — that is all in the past. What remains is the unglamorous, repetitive, and deeply boring work of management. This is where the amateurs wash out and the professionals get paid.
Pre-plan the exit before you place the entry. Take profits mechanically. Stop losses mechanically. Review the execution, not the P&L. The trade was decided when you wrote the rules — everything after is just following them.
This briefing is theory. Your file is evidence. The forensic audit takes four minutes and returns your σ verdict — where your money anxiety actually lives, and what it costs you.
