Circuit Breaker (Personal)

Behavioral Discipline

A self-imposed stop that ends or pauses trading before the firm's daily loss limit does. The firm's daily loss limit catches a spiral late, after the damage is done. A personal circuit breaker, like standing down for a set cooldown after two losers, trips first and keeps you from ever reaching the firm's line. Example: After two losses inside your plan, you step away from the screen until a timer runs out, then re-enter only on an A-grade setup at base size.
