Revenge trading doesn't fix the loss. In almost every case, it just doubles it. You're not thinking clearly when you revenge trade. You're reacting to your emotions and trying to get a quick win for your ego. It's also addictive. You start believing the market is out to get you. One bad decision leads to several more very quickly. The main problem is your emotions are fully in control when they should be nonexistent. When that happens, your level headed approach disappears and whatever decisions you make during this time are almost always terrible. What you should instead: - Step back. - Mentally reset. - Review the original trade to see what actually went wrong. Was it just a bad trade? What can you do differently? Better entry? Better invalidation? Rushed into the position? Before your next trade, you need to ask yourself: Am I trading my system or my emotions? The BEST revenge trade is no trade at all. Your system doesn't succeed if you're forcing trades.
