What do you do when you don't understand your own trade?

Every trader has opened a position and realised they couldn't explain why. It usually happens under boredom, FOMO or pressure, and the correct response is the same every time: close it.

Have you been there?

• the trade and the (lack of) reasoning
• what you did and what happened
• the check you run before entering now

If you can't write the reason in one sentence before entry, there's no trade. That's the whole rule.
