Revenge trading(Revenge trading)
The behaviour of opening unplanned and usually larger trades right after a loss in order to win the money back; it turns a small loss into a big one.
Also written as: intikam işlemi
The emotional trigger is anger and a sense of "unfairness". Signs: entering a new trade within seconds of being stopped out, increasing lot size, trading outside your rules.
Rule: close the day once you hit your daily loss limit or after two consecutive losses. Enforcing this rule at the platform level (prop firm limit, broker daily limit setting) is better than relying on willpower.
