The Dangers of Revenge Trading and Recovery After Losing Trades
Revenge trading and trying to recover after losing trades – the number 1 "account killer" in coin trading.
The feeling of frustration, "the market is stupid", "I was right but it hit me."
So you immediately enter a new trade, larger, with no stop loss, or go all-in to "recover quickly".
This is exactly revenge trading and recovery – the two most dangerous behaviors in crypto trading.
Why is it extremely harmful?
Decisions are 100% influenced by emotions, then technical analysis, and the initial plan is thrown out the window.
The trade size often skyrockets (from 1–2% to 10–30% of the account), just one more loss can lead to significant losses.
It destroys your mentality → the more you lose, the more calmness you lose 👉 the easier it is to keep losing 👉 the deadly spiral.
A very common real-life example:
Account 1000 USDT
Trade 1: loss -80$ you have 920$
Revenge: entering trade 300$ (30% of the account) loss 👉 additional loss -240$ left with 680$
Frustrated, all-in 680$ to recover, ends up with 0$.
Just from 1 small losing trade → the account burns down in less than 30 minutes.
A simple way to avoid this (but must be done for real):
Lose a trade 👉 stop for at least 15–60 minutes (turn off the chart).
Never increase size to recover.
Limit maximum loss per day (for example: -3% then stop for the day).
Keep a journal: "Today lost because of breaking discipline" instead of blaming the market.
Remember: preserving capital is more important than recovering lost capital.
Trading coins is already difficult, don’t make yourself the biggest enemy of yourself.
Accept losses, take a break, come back with a cool head.
That is the way to protect your account and maintain long-term earning opportunities.
Wishing you always control your emotions! 🚀
