Nobody loses an account because they did not know what RSI measures. They lose it by doubling down after a loss, by taking a trade that was not in the plan because the last three were winners, or by moving a stop rather than accepting it was wrong.
These lessons name each pattern, explain the bias underneath it, and give the mechanical countermeasure, because a rule you can follow while upset beats an insight you cannot.
