Revenge Trading: The Rebound that Breaks You

Eight years ago, one of the hardest things happened to me—I separated from my ex-wife. I had two beautiful daughters, and the breakup was tough. My friends, trying to ease the pain, introduced me to new women. But after more dates than I care to count, I realized those distractions didn’t fill the void. What I needed was time to heal, to reset my heart and mind.

Revenge trading is no different. After a loss, traders often make emotional decisions, jumping into trades to recover quickly, much like I did with those rebound dates. But those impulsive moves only lead to more losses, frustration, and regret.

Why revenge trading happens :

• Emotional Reactions: Revenge trading happens when traders react emotionally to losses, making impulsive decisions to recover fast.

• Lack of Discipline: Straying from your plan after a loss can lead to bad decisions.

• Ego and Pride: Trying to prove you were right after a loss clouds judgment, tempting you to take unnecessary risks.

Break the cycle with these steps:

1. Adopt a probabilistic mindset—losses are part of trading.

2. Predefine your risk before every trade.

3. Stick to your plan—consistency is key.

4. Use emotional control—mindfulness keeps you grounded.

5. Reflect and learn from each trade.

6. Accept losses as lessons, not failures.
