3/7 The Revenge Trading Spiral
I once lost $15,000 in under 40 minutes trying to "win back" a minor $500 stop loss that got hit on $ETH . Revenge trading is the single fastest way to turn a paper cut into a fatal wound. đđ
When the market hits your stop loss, your ego takes the blow. Your brain immediately enters fight-or-flight mode, screaming at you to re-enter with bigger leverage and zero strategy just to get back to breakeven.
That is not tradingâthat is pure gambling.
Now, I follow a strict 2-Loss Rule:
1. If two consecutive trades hit my hard stop loss, I close my terminal immediately.
2. I step away from the screen for at least 4 hours.
3. I review my trade journal to see if I followed my rules or traded out of emotion.
Before I reveal how I calculate position sizes to stay calm, save this post right now so you can read it the next time you get stopped out. đ
