Key Learnings:
Stick to your rules and control your urges by box breathing.
In order to be profitable in this game I need to be very defensive with my looseres but aggressive with my winners.
My Win ratio is not strong enough, I need to figure out how I can get 3R+ per winner...

DS: 90%
Get back into green figures.
Figure out how to get high R's
