How to Stop Revenge Trading

We've all been there: a frustrating loss leads to an impulsive "get even" trade, which leads to a bigger loss. Revenge trading is a biological response to pain, and you need a system to stop it.

Identify the "Tilt" Signal

Recognize the physical symptoms of anger or desperation (increased heart rate, heat in the face). This is your signal to stop.

Implement a Daily Loss Limit

If you lose a certain percentage of your account (e.g., 2%), your platform should be closed for the day. No exceptions.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

/Trying to "make back" a loss before the session ends
/Increasing lot size after a loss
