Ever watched your stock gap down 10% overnight with zero chance to react?

It's brutal.

Here’s how to protect your account, manage your mindset, and survive the worst trading mornings. Image
A gap down happens when a stock opens significantly lower than its previous close.

It’s usually caused by negative news, weak earnings, or broad market fear.

Example: A stock closes Friday at $50, opens Monday at $45. That $5 drop is the gap.
Gap downs crush two things:

1. Your account
2. Your mindset

You can lose 1% of your portfolio overnight with no exit option.
And that shock can lead to emotional, destructive decisions during the trading day.

Morgan Housel has sold over 8 million copies of The Psychology of Money by teaching one thing:

Your behavior matters more than your strategy.

This weekend, he broke it down live with us.

3 patterns every trader needs to understand: Image
Housel gave 3 insights every trader needs:

• Why most failed to see 2008 coming

• Why fast gains make weak traders

• Why high expectations lead to self-sabotage

This is what separates short-term noise from long-term survival.
The 2008 crash wasn’t about subprime loans.

It was about fear, groupthink, and incentives no model could predict.

Markets don’t run on logic. They run on behavior.

You were told to remove emotion and trade like a robot.

You were told more trades = more money.

You were lied to.

Today we learned what real edge actually looks like: 🧵
Jack Schwager wrote about Amrit Sall in Unknown Market Wizards.

Amrit's nickname? The Sniper.

He waits for the one trade that fits.
No monthly targets. No boredom trades.

That restraint = his edge.
The goal isn’t activity. It’s accuracy.
Denise Shull breaks the myth that you should “remove emotion.”

Emotion is data.
Confidence is a feeling your brain earned through repetition.

If you ignore it, you miss the edge.

Tired of giving back your gains after every rally?

It’s time for a change. Learn how to spot a stock topping process and protect your profits.

Here’s how to identify topping signs and act before it’s too late: Image
What is a stock topping process?

It’s when a strong uptrend starts losing momentum gradually, often leading to a reversal or sideways action.

It’s slow and subtle, but it signals the rally is ending.
Why should you care?

Selling near the top locks in gains and frees capital for better opportunities.

Holding too long can lead to heavy losses that take far longer to recover.

Figure out your stage by studying your equity curve. It never lies.
Lesson 2: Complexity kills consistency

The best systems are brutally simple.
A few rules. A few setups. A few stocks.

Overbuild your process and you’ll freeze when it matters most. Image
