đđ I lost $5,400 learning this: some conditions are pure account destroyers.
First, never trade right after a big loss. Emotion drives revenge trading. I lost $1,500, then another $2,500 chasing. Rule: 24-hour break.
Second, avoid trading before major news (CPI, FOMC). Volatility is extreme, designed to liquidate. My $700 profit became a $1,000 loss during Fed news. Rule: Flat *before* news.
Third, don't trade when tired or emotional. Judgment is compromised, leading to impulsive risks. I blew $900 on an overleveraged, unfocused trade. Rule: Trade 100% calm.
Finally, avoid low liquidity markets. Weekends mean wide spreads, slippage, and unpredictable moves. My $300 scalp vanished from slippage on Sunday. Rule: Low volume, stay out.
