Revenge trading is the worst—it’s like digging yourself deeper into a hole. 🕳️
I’ve been there too, and it’s tough to break the cycle.
One thing that helped me was setting a daily loss limit (like 2-3% of my account) and sticking to it no matter what. Once I hit that limit, I step away for the day—no exceptions.
Another game-changer was shifting my mindset from “I need to make it back” to “I need to protect what I have.”
It sounds simple, but it’s a huge mental shift.
I also started journaling my trades to spot patterns in my behaviour—like when I’m most likely to revenge trade—and then working on those triggers.
What’s helped me the most, though, is reminding myself that trading is a marathon, not a sprint.
One bad day won’t break you, but one bad decision can.
I’d be interested to know how others handle those tough moments. 🤔📊
