Charlie Munger used to do something interesting when he was stuck on a problem.

Instead of asking how do I succeed, he'd ask how do I guarantee failure… then simply not do that.

In this episode I take that idea and apply it to trading. How would you guarantee you never improved?

How would you make sure a small loss became a big one?

How would you design a routine that burned you out within a year?

The answers are uncomfortably familiar.

Sometimes the edge isn't something you add to your trading. It's what you stop doing.
