When you see a pattern that 'confirms' your belief, do you pause to check whether it might be a coincidence rather than a real signal?

One of the most common traps in trading — and in life — is confirmation bias. SMC teaches traders to stay grounded even after a few winning trades, because the market is inherently random and no pattern guarantees a future outcome. This insight applies far beyond finance: in any domain where you are making decisions under uncertainty, the discipline to question your own wins is as valuable as the discipline to learn from your losses.
