The author predicts that by focusing on high-quality setups with reduced size and time (guard rails), he will achieve small green days, recover about half of his $28,930 loss (approximately $14,465), and regain confidence within a few days, at which point the guard rails can be removed.
"Typically you're back to focusing on a quality setups what's more likely to happen is small green days you have some small green days they don't feel very satisfying at first because you're still down so much but after a few days like that you realize all right man I've got this and you know what I'm still the same Trader who did all this and once you've made back about half the loss that's when the guard rails come off"
