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.

Just like in relationships it takes time to heal, trading requires patience. If you’re stuck in revenge trading, you have to bro that cycle. Also, if you want to trade without the emotional burden, copy trading with me helps you manage risk and avoid impulsive decisions. Click here to copy and 🚀💰. Let’s stay focused on long-term success.

Stop the Panic: How to Set a Stop-Loss Like a Pro

We’ve been talking lately about Stop Loss at length and how crucial it is, because we’ve all been there: the market moves against you, your heart races, and you think, “Why didn’t I set a stop-loss?!” Don’t make that mistake again.. Here’s your step-by-step guide to setting a stop-loss that protects your profits and minimizes your losses.
1. Know Your Risk Tolerance
Before entering, decide how much you’re willing to lose—1-2% of your capital per trade is a solid rule.
2. Use a Crypto Position Size Calculator
Before opening any leveraged trade, always use a position size calculator to assess your risk properly.
3. Set Take Profit Targets First
Before setting your stop-loss, set clear take profit targets. Once your first take profit hits, move your stop-loss to break-even to protect yourself.
4. Place Stop-Loss Based on Technicals
Use support and resistance:

• Buy: Stop-loss below support.
• Sell: Stop-loss above resistance.

5. Use a Fixed Dollar or Percentage Amount
For precision, set your stop-loss based on a fixed amount or percentage, like 2% of your trade.
6. Trail Your Stop-Loss for Protection
Once the market moves in your favor, trail your stop-loss to lock in profits as the price rises.

Final Tip: The stop-loss is your safety net, not a crutch. It’s there to give you the confidence to trade with discipline. Want to trade smarter with proven strategies? Click here to copy my trades and 🚀💰.

Get Your Act Together: The Power of Self-Discipline in Trading

When I first started trading, I thought my intuition would be the cornerstone of my success. Spoiler: it wasn’t. Lack of consistency and discipline led to losses, even though I had attended during my school years Valley Forge, an elite military academy in the US, I found myself making rookie mistakes, but building habits turned it around. Discipline isn’t innate—it’s learned and affirmed with practice. Here’s how.

1. Build a Daily Routine:

Start each day the same:
• Morning (10 minutes): Scan the market, set alerts, plan.
• Midday Check-In: Review performance—are you sticking to your plan?
• Evening Reflection (15 minutes): Log trades and emotions.

Do this for 21 days—you’ll feel more in control.

2. Predefine Risk:

You wouldn’t drive without brakes. Why trade without stop-losses?
• Before every trade: Define your entry, stop-loss, and profit target.
• Limit risk to 1-2% of your capital.
• Once set, walk away. Trust the process.

3. The 5-Second Pause Rule:

Before hitting “Buy” or “Sell,” pause:
• Does this align with my plan?
• Am I reacting emotionally?

If you hesitate, don’t take the trade. This habit saved me from many mistakes.

4. Visualize the Process:

Close your eyes for two minutes. Picture yourself:
• Identifying trades.
• Setting stop-losses.
• Logging results calmly.

Reinforce the disciplined trader you’re becoming.

5. Journaling:

Log these details nightly:
• Setups, results, emotions, and plan deviations.

Review weekly to spot patterns. Are you improving? Where are you slipping?

Final Note: Discipline isn’t flashy, but it works. Stick to these protocols for 21 days, and watch the shift. Don’t want to go it alone? Click here to copy my trades and trade smarter 🚀💰. Cheers!

But it’s not worth it being liquidated. Check out my posts, I’m sharing a lot of content on risk management, which you really need to apply. Trade safely.

Your margin is too tight. I wouldn’t risk liquidation, it also depends where your SL is. I’d close the trade. You can easily make back that amount in a few good trades

Fed’s Mixed Messages: Markets React, Crypto Bleeds

The Federal Reserve’s latest meeting sent shockwaves through the markets. What should have been a stabilizing moment turned into a perfect storm of uncertainty. Let’s unpack what happened—and what it means for crypto.

The Fed’s Confusing Narrative

Powell’s message was bizarre:
• “Recession has been avoided, the economy is strong, and next year will be great!”
But then:
• Inflation targets weren’t met (though it’s mostly a technical issue).
• Jobs are weakening faster than pre-pandemic levels, yet the Fed is “hopeful” about stopping the fall.

Mixed Data Signals
• GDP: Q3 revised to 3.1%, beating the 2.8% forecast.
• Unemployment Claims: Initial claims at 220k (better than 230k expected), with continuing claims slightly lower.
• Job-Finding Rate: Powell highlighted its sharp decline, mirroring drops seen in 2001, 2008, and COVID recessions.

Add to that rising unemployment, a falling employment-to-population ratio, and the recently uninverted yield curve—all classic recession signals.

Crypto’s Volatile Reaction

The crypto market plummeted, here’s why:
1. Rate Cut Fallout: The Fed’s 0.25 bps cut, meant to boost growth, signaled economic weakness.
2. Investor Shift: Risk assets like crypto dropped as investors moved to safer bets.
3. Massive Liquidations: Over $850M, mostly longs, were liquidated, fueling the sell-off.

What’s Next?

Here’s the silver lining:
• VIX Spike: Yesterday’s big VIX jump often signals a rebound within 30 days.
• Market Reset: Patience now could pay off later.
• BTC.D: Watch dominance—if it hits 60%, alts could suffer.

Volatility is high, and the market is waiting for clarity. Until then, doing less might be your smartest move.

DO NOT GO TO SLEEP WITHOUT A STOP LOSS 🚨📈

This may seem obvious, but it happens—even to the most experienced traders. You’re convinced you’ve read the market perfectly. Your ego whispers, “You don’t need a stop-loss. You’ve got this.” But then…

Europe wakes up with fresh data.
The U.S. decides the market’s heading in a different direction.
War escalates in the Middle East, sending shockwaves through the markets.

And just like that, your “perfect” trade becomes an expensive lesson in humility.

Why You Should Never Skip a Stop-Loss:
1. Markets Don’t Sleep: While you rest, the global market operates 24/7. Each region brings its own sentiment, news, and volatility.
2. Emotions Override Logic: Without a stop-loss, you’re left with decisions fueled by fear or panic during a sudden move.
3. Protecting Capital: Trading is about longevity. One bad trade without a stop-loss can wipe out weeks—or months—of progress.
4. Unexpected Events: Black swans, war escalations, or news bombs can send prices into a free fall. Stop-losses act as your safety net.

How to Protect Yourself:
• Set It and Forget It: Always place a stop-loss at a level that respects your risk tolerance. This is non-negotiable.
• Adjust for Time Zones: If you’re sleeping, account for potential market shifts in other regions when placing your stop-loss.
• Diversify: Don’t overexpose yourself to one trade. Diversification cushions against catastrophic losses.
• Don’t Let Ego Trade: You’re not smarter than the market. Trade with discipline, not emotion.

Even the best traders get caught up in overconfidence. SL isn’t just about minimizing losses—it’s about sleeping peacefully, knowing you’ve done your job to protect your portfolio.

STOP TRADING ALTS 🛑…for Now

A lot is happening after the Fed meeting, and I’ll break that down in my next post. But for now, I have to be here the voice of reason, and here’s the most important thing I can tell you: STOP TRADING ALTS. Don’t listen to all the fake crypto gurus telling you to buy this coin or that coin right now. We don’t know where the bottom of this drop is yet, and there’s no clear signal to guide us.

Here’s a quick summary of what’s going on:
• Yesterday, the Fed cut rates by 0.25 bps, and Powell’s speech sent the markets into more volatility—nothing new there.
• Crypto and stocks have been pumping hard for the past few months, so this retracement was overdue.
• The dollar is strengthening, and naturally, that’s putting downward pressure on BTC.

So, What Should You Do?
• Spot Bags: Keep them as they are. If you’ve got strong positions, just hold. I’d advise further DCA if you’re in a bullish trend, but don’t jump the gun yet. Wait for a clear signal before making any major moves.
• Futures: Be very careful in this volatile market. Personally, I’ve only longed LINK, which is still not in profit, and I’m staying out until I see a clear opportunity. I’ll move with a small risk until the market gives me something more predictable.
• BTC.D: This is where my concern lies. BTC dominance is nowhere near resistance. One spike to 60% and alts could drop another 20-30%. A massacre, basically.

The market is volatile, and sometimes doing very little is the best move. I’m staying cautious for now and keeping my eyes on the market’s next move.

The Storm Will Pass!

Trust me, I’m there with you. Even with all my risk management precautions and analysis—which made me even more cautious—my portfolio is down 5.87%. About 60% of that leakage is in spot holdings, but I’m okay with that because I only invest in strong coins, and I know they’ll recover. Patience is key.

I don’t want to sugarcoat anything or sell you false hope. I’m here, sharing my own growth journey with you. It’s tough, but storms like these shape us. Here’s what I’m doing to weather this one:

1. Prayer and Meditation

I believe in God’s guidance and connection. This practice grounds me and gives me the strength to remain steadfast in uncertain markets. Without this foundation, I wouldn’t be able to navigate the emotional rollercoaster of this space. If you don’t share these beliefs, that’s okay—I’m just being honest about mine.

2. Mindset Adjustments
• Focus on the Bigger Picture: Every dip is part of the cycle. What goes down often goes up—sometimes even stronger.
• Gratitude Practice: I remind myself how far I’ve come. Gratitude can shift your perspective and ease stress.
• Continuous Learning: Instead of fearing losses, I analyze what I can improve. Growth comes from reflection.

3. Diversification

Spreading your investments helps minimize risk. A well-diversified portfolio cushions the blow when the market turns against you.

This is temporary. The storm will pass, and the market will recover—as it always does. The key is to stay calm, stay grounded, and use this time to strengthen your strategy.
