Cognitive Load
Stress Resilience
How much brain power you're using - too much leads to bad decisions. The amount of mental effort being used in working memory. When overloaded (too many indicators, news sources, open positions), decision quality drops dramatically. Example: You're watching 5 charts, reading news, monitoring 8 positions, and chatting on Discord. Your cognitive load is maxed out. When a fast-moving trade needs a quick decision, you make a mistake.
