🧠 PSYCHOLOGY #18: REVENGE TRADING - THE SPIRAL OF DESTRUCTION
You lose $500 in a trade.
Emotion: ANGER.
Thought: "I WILL RECOVER THIS NOW."
Next trade: Doubles the size. No analysis.
Result: Loses $1,000.
Now: Tripled size. "IT HAS TO COME BACK!"
Result: Loses $3,000.
🔥 REVENGE TRADING:
You are not trading. You are VENGING.
Market "humiliated you". You want to "prove" something.
BUT: The market does not know you exist.
You are fighting with a ghost.
📉 THE SPIRAL:
Loss → Anger → Bigger position → Bigger loss → MORE anger
End: Account zeroed.
⚠️ DATA:
91% of traders who zeroed their accounts had a "revenge session" beforehand.
💡 THE ONLY SOLUTION:
STOP. TURN OFF. GET OUT OF THE APP.
After a significant loss:
• MINIMUM 1h break
• BEST: Break until the next day
Controlled emotion = Preserved capital.
