🔄 Revenge trading — the most dangerous “one more trade” after a loss.
The cycle goes like this:
1️⃣ Loss → ego takes a hit
2️⃣ Immediately increase your position size, without a setup (in a rush to recover)
3️⃣ Another loss → even bigger position → spiral
Live example: BTC was around ~$74.8K in the morning and ~$77K by afternoon — a choppy bounce. Emotional position sizing could have made the day even worse for those attempting a “recovery” today.
Cooldown rule: After 2 consecutive losses, turn off your screen and take a 24-hour break. Flag revenge-trading moments in your journal.
The market will open again tomorrow — getting your capital back isn’t so easy. 🛑
