Did you craft plans?
Yes
Did you set up trade alerts and entry / exit triggers and follow them?
Yes
Did you do regular breathing exercise?
Yes
Did the account value move more than 2% per day?
Yes
If yes, lighten up or tighten stops
How much do you stand to lose in the worst case scenario?
Cannot calculate until you start over with a clean slate
Is it more than 5% of the account value?
No
After losing 5% (realised or unrealised), FOMO and short circuit is highly likely, avoid them by not losing more
If "All TFs Down" is active, add hedges
TFs down active Watch for inactivation followed by activation -> lighten up, hedge
Take profits on the way up
Reminder:
You cannot time the bottom when it is going down
But you can guess the bottom is in when it is going up
