The worst thing you can do after an emotional trade and a big loss is increase leverage trying to win it back.
That money is gone. Accept it. The moment you start revenge trading, you’re no longer trading the market… You’re fighting your own emotions. Forget the loss. Shift your focus back to execution. Money in trading doesn’t come from heroic trades. It comes from compounding small advantages and repeating good habits over a long period of time. If you’re chasing home runs, you’re not building an account. You’re preparing to blow it.
