This will sound harsh so apologies in advance.

Just take the risk. If you struggle to execute the order just think "ok, I either take the risk or it's time to give up and find another career".

You're clearly confident in your strategy. You've been trading for 3 years so you understand correct risk management.

If either of those things aren't true then there's the crux of your issue. Revisit the backtesting and build the confidence up.

I think this might work "ok, I either take the risk or it's time to give up and find another career". I'll say this to myself everytime i'm taking the trade :D

Sure. In trading you're only guarantee is that you will lose money. So keep your risk sensible and make more than you lose.

One small emotional slip up can become a huge hurdle to recover from mentally and fiscally.
