Mental Reminder

# Mental Reminder - Trading Psychology Overlay

## 🧠 Why This Indicator Matters

Trading success isn't just about technical analysis - it's about psychology. The biggest enemy of profitable trading is often our own emotions and impulses. This indicator serves as your constant mental anchor, displaying personalized reminders that keep you focused on what truly matters.

## 💡 Core Purpose

**Combat Emotional Trading**
Every trader knows the feeling - you see a price movement and your emotions take over. This overlay keeps your trading rules and mindset visible at all times, acting as a psychological brake against impulsive decisions.

**Reinforce Discipline**
Whether it's "Wait for confirmation", "Risk management first", or "The market will always be here tomorrow" - having your key principles constantly visible helps internalize good trading habits.

**Maintain Patience**
In a world of instant gratification, successful trading requires patience. A simple "Let the setup come to you" reminder can prevent countless premature entries and exits.

## 🎯 Real Trading Applications

- **Pre-market reminder**: "Review your plan" before market open
- **During drawdowns**: "Trust the process" or "Losses are part of the game"
- **In volatile markets**: "Stay calm" or "Stick to your strategy"
- **During winning streaks**: "Don't get overconfident" or "Risk management still matters"
- **FOMO moments**: "There will always be another trade"

## 🔄 The Psychology Behind Visual Reminders

Studies show that visual cues are more effective than trying to remember rules mentally. When you're in the heat of trading, emotions can cloud judgment. A constant visual reminder cuts through the emotional noise and brings you back to your planned approach.

**Why Fixed Position Works**
Unlike annotations that move with price, this reminder stays in your peripheral vision - always there, never intrusive, but impossible to ignore when you need it most.

Your trading edge isn't just your strategy - it's your ability to execute it consistently. This simple tool helps bridge the gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it.
