Anatomy of a Losing Start
This is the written companion to the live session on 23 July. Most session breakdowns start at the trade that worked, which teaches you nothing about the part that actually decides whether you can run a model: the stretch where nothing is working yet. This one starts there on purpose.
Four losses came before the first winner. That is not a bad session, it is what a 44% win rate looks like from the inside, and it will happen again. What follows is the pre-market thesis written with no direction in it, the one condition for re-entering a level, the two trades where the asymmetry paid for everything, and the risk rules underneath all of it.
