The revenge spiral
Risk & Psychology
The spiral
A loss stings, so you re-enter instantly to 'win it back'. Bigger, sloppier, angrier. The market doesn't know you're owed. One loss becoming three is self-inflicted.
Check yourself
After a painful stop-out, the professional move is…
- Instant re-entry, doubled
- Pause. The next trade must qualify on ITS merits correct
- Quit forever
The market owes you nothing back. Only the setup criteria decide the next trade, never the scoreboard.
