The rule: never size up right after a loss. That's the line disciplined traders don't cross.
Revenge trading isn't really a strategy — it's a nervous system reaction dressed up as conviction. The loss feels unfinished, so the mind looks for a fast way to settle the score. The market doesn't know or care about the score. It costs more than money; it costs clear thinking, and usually turns one manageable loss into two.
Next time it hits, set a rule in advance: after a loss, the position size goes down, not up, and a short break is mandatory before the next entry.
