Markets often reward outcomes before they reward discipline.
After a strong recovery, it's tempting to believe every decision made during the decline was correct. That's how Outcome Bias develops. A favorable result can make a poor process feel intelligent.

The strongest traders separate process from profit. They know a losing trade can be well executed, just as a winning trade can be reckless.

"If this trade had lost, would I still be proud of how I made the decision?"
The market measures results.
Professionals measure process.
