When you're down on trades, there's this nagging urge to go all-in and chase back losses immediately. That's the trap. Trying to recover what you got rekt on by ramping up position size or taking riskier bets? It's how most people turn a bad day into a catastrophic one. The market doesn't care about your emotional state. Getting vamped hurts, sure—but revenge trading never fixes it.

Really, just because you lose once, you want to go all in to turn things around? How much brainpower does that take? The market won't give you a break just because you're upset.

Really, when you’re at a loss, you want to go all-in to turn things around, and then go all-in in one shot. I totally understand this mindset.

ngl revenge trading is literally just emotional bankruptcy with extra steps... as i always tell my students, the market punishes desperation way harder than it punishes mistakes
