The First Enemy: Greed [27:06]
Khosro identifies the first enemy as greed, which manifests in various ways, such as being anxious about missing an entry or moving targets after a position is already in profit. He advises respecting one's trading plan, entry points, and stop-loss/take-profit levels. He explains that greed can lead to the destruction of trading accounts and emphasizes that not all market gains need to be captured by one person.
Overcoming Greed [34:38]
Khosro provides a solution to overcome greed by respecting one's trading plan, order levels, and the TRH setup. He emphasizes that once the settings are in place, they should not be altered. He explains that limit orders are designed to help traders stick to their plans. He advises against using tools that amplify greed or fear, such as high leverage.
The Second Enemy: Fear [42:22]
Khosro identifies the second enemy as fear, which stems from a lack of knowledge and self-doubt.

Conquering Fear [48:54]

He emphasizes the importance of having confidence in one's strategy and the statistical evidence supporting it. He highlights that live trading helps to desensitize traders to fear.
The Third Enemy: FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) [55:33]
Khosro identifies the third enemy as FOMO (Fear of Missing Out), which is the anxiety that one is missing out on potential profits. He explains that FOMO leads to impulsive decisions, such as entering trades late or without proper planning. He advises patience and waiting for the right opportunity rather than chasing the market.
Avoiding FOMO [58:55]
Khosro advises that the correct approach is to wait patiently. If the conditions for a pullback are met, then one can act. If not, there will be other opportunities. He stresses that most losses result from chasing the market due to fear, not from missing opportunities. He reinforces that opportunities are always available, but one must enter trades correctly, with focus, and under favorable conditions.
The Fourth Enemy: Revenge Trading [1:04:26]
Khosro identifies the fourth enemy as revenge trading, which occurs after consecutive losses. He explains that revenge trading is driven by the desire to quickly recover losses, leading to impulsive and poorly planned trades. He advises traders to step away from the platform after losses and to have daily limits to prevent over-trading.
Discipline and Limits [1:07:58]
Khosro advises setting daily limits on the number of trades to prevent revenge trading. He explains that his "trading room" concept is based on the idea of being a hunter with a limited number of shots. He emphasizes the importance of discipline and sticking to one's trading plan.
The Fifth Enemy: Over-Leveraging [1:12:27]
Khosro identifies the fifth enemy as over-leveraging, which is using excessive leverage in trading. He explains that while leverage can be beneficial when used correctly, it is often used to amplify greed or recover losses quickly, leading to significant losses. He advises traders to remain consistent with their risk management and avoid increasing leverage.
Staying Consistent [1:15:43]
Khosro advises staying consistent with one's trading plan, whether winning or losing. He emphasizes the importance of having a well-reasoned trading volume based on logic and a proven system. He highlights that excessive financial leverage is designed for those who do not understand the market and leads to their downfall.
Conclusion and Summary [1:17:50]
Khosro summarizes the five unseen enemies and encourages viewers to create a mental checklist to help them stay disciplined. He emphasizes the importance of executing the strategies and learning from live trading experiences. He advises exiting trades at the target, avoiding greed, and using backtesting to combat fear.
