Hindsight bias

The feeling, after the fact, that an outcome was predictable all along.

In plain English

It makes past charts look obvious and trains false confidence. A journal written before the outcome is the honest record.

Example

Looking at yesterday’s breakout and thinking “that was so clear” — when it was not a trade you took or planned.
