A principle of neuroscience. By repeating a new behavior, neural pathways in the brain are physically rewired. This is the process where conscious effort (prefrontal cortex processing) shifts to the "basal ganglia," making the behavior automatic and unconscious.
How to Do It
Instead of seeking perfect trades, focus on "following one small rule once" and repeat this daily.
Effect
Rule compliance, which initially requires willpower, eventually becomes an automatic habit (default action) that "feels wrong to skip."
How to Use
1. Narrow down to just one rule to follow (e.g., placing a stop before entry)
2. Reward yourself on days you execute it
3. Continue this cycle for 66 days (average habituation period)
