Honestly? If your entire trading strategy hinges on believing "this time will be different" — you're not following a plan. You're gambling on hope. Every market cycle has traders convinced the old rules don't apply anymore. They do. Always have. Risk management isn't optional just because things feel unique. Build systems that work regardless of sentiment, not ones that only survive when you're right about history breaking pattern. That's not strategy. That's wishful thinking with extra steps.
