What is the primary danger of 'Second-guessing' as an execution failure?

1. It results in the trader doubling their position size to 'get even' on their very next trade.
2. It leads to 'Paralysis by Analysis', where the fear of being wrong prevents any trade from being taken at all.
3. It causes the trader to move stops tighter or exit for tiny profits, preventing the edge from manifesting.
4. It leads to entering a trade too early, well before the footprint signal has actually finished confirming fully.
