## Parkinson's Law
*"Work expands to fill the time available for its completion."*

Now? Traders hold losing trades for weeks, hoping they come back. "I have unlimited time," they say.

Set your OWN time limit. Give yourself 20 trading days. If you can't pass in 20 days, you aren't ready for a funded account.
