Data shifts? Your stance shifts. That's not weakness—that's survival.

Clinging to yesterday's thesis because you said it out loud? That's not conviction. That's pride getting expensive. Markets punish nostalgia. They reward those who can pivot before the crowd even notices the turn.

Most traders bleed out not from bad calls, but from refusing to admit when the setup changed. The ones who thrive? They kill their darlings fast. No mourning period for dead narratives.

Speed of adaptation beats strength of opinion. Every time.
