Its a step beyond just a stop loss, or stoping when you tilt, but still leaves you the option to stop if you really dont think you can get back on track. As you say, if you just quit the moment you realise you're tilting, it doesnt really help you fix the problem, just minimises the losses (although sometimes thats a good idea).

GL!
I really agree with what you wrote here. What I'm trying to do right now is focus on one thing at a time, because I'm afraid if I put too much on the table I'm just going to overwhelm myself and do nothing. And right now I'm focusing on making choices in my life at every moment. I am though trying to recognize my own emotions and feelings at various times so I can become more self aware.
