i bought NIFTY 24500 CE this morning, same day expiry and the Theta Decay started to kill the premium from the open.

for hours I was in green, then red; green, then red it was not because the trade was not in my direction, but simply because of Theta Decay

every instinct said to cut it now, take the smaller loss and save a few points by exiting earlier then Stoploss.

I didn't.

My setup said hold, My thesis had never been invalidated throughout the trade only the premium had decayed.

So I sat with it, uncomfortably Watching Red. Talking myself out of every early-exit impulse by walking back through

what my system actually said.

Nifty moved. 24500 CE, flipped from OTM pain to ITM profit and i closed the day +₹2,600.

the money isn't the point here, the point is i had a dozen chances to override my system with "common sense" risk management.

If I had, I'd have locked in a loss on a trade that was always going to work. My stop loss exists for a reason.

Cutting early to feel better isn't risk management. It's emotion wearing risk management's costume.

Always stick to the system, Boring advice...
