Slept 30 mins into a range trade. Woke up +TP hit on one, -23 on another that hadn't hit invalidation yet.
Here's the lesson I keep relearning: your entry logic can be flawless — MA50 reclaim, SAR bounce, EMA confluence, whatever your edge is — and it still won't save you if you fall asleep without a TP order sitting live.
Stop-loss protects your capital. TP protects your gains from your own unconsciousness. Most of us only think about the first one.
If you're holding size while multitasking, ask yourself: does this position survive the next 4 hours if I don't look at it once?
