Moved my review from Friday night to Sunday morning

Small change but it's stuck. I used to go through the week's trades on Friday evening, right after the close, and I'd basically just be re-feeling everything - the one that got away, the one I sized wrong. Nothing useful came out of it, just a mood. Now I leave the whole thing alone until Sunday morning with coffee, and by then the trades read like someone else made them. I notice patterns instead of injuries. Same notes, same screenshots, completely different head. The tuning I do on my alerts is calmer too, less revenge-flavoured.

This tracks with something I keep seeing in my own logs - decisions made inside a few hours of the close cluster much wider than ones made later, and the tails are all the bad kind. The signal doesn't change, only my read of it does. Do you write anything down on Friday at all, or is it total silence until Sunday?

Cooling off before you touch settings is underrated. Most of my worst fills came from tweaking an order type while still annoyed about the previous one.
