In this conversation at Market Mamas, host and futures day trader Becky Gaskell explores consistency bias and how it can quietly damage a trader’s decision-making. She explains how traders often hold on to an original idea, trade direction, or market read even when fresh price action is clearly proving it wrong. Becky breaks down how consistency bias shows up in real-time trading, from holding losing trades too long to forcing setups, rewriting mistakes after the session, and protecting the ego instead of managing risk. She also shares practical ways to stay flexible, use “if-then” trade planning, and separate a trade idea from the actual execution moment. This subject is powerful for traders, so check it out!
