🧠 PSYCHOLOGY #15: GAMBLER'S FALLACY - THE ILLUSION OF "IT'S TIME"
You lost 5 consecutive trades.
Thought: "The next ONE WILL WORK. It's statistics!"
🎲 THE FALLACY:
Heads or tails. It showed heads 5 times.
"Now it WILL show tails!"
WRONG. Next play = 50/50. ALWAYS.
📉 IN TRADING:
"I lost 5 times, the next ONE WILL be a winner!"
Reality: Each trade is INDEPENDENT.
The market "owes" you nothing.
⚠️ THE DANGER:
You INCREASE the position size on the 6th trade.
"To recover the losses"
Result: HUGE loss when you lose again.
📈 DATA:
82% of traders increase risk after a losing streak.
Emotional reason, not logical.
💡 THE TRUTH:
Losing streak DOES NOT increase the probability of a win.
It only increases your desperation.
Keep the same position size. ALWAYS.
Have you ever thought "it's time to win"?
