 Meet Alex, a retail forex trader who started with $10,000 portfolio and after a few winning trades he felt invincible as was able to wreck in some profit and became cocky.. Then came the losing streak as a result of bad risk management overtrading, and stubbornness turned his account into $3,000. Instead of stepping back rethinking and restrateging , he doubled down taking higher risk than he usually takes revenge trading hoping to recover every thing he has lost over a short period of time. He increased his lot size, trying to recover losses in trade on EUR/USD bet which wiped out another $1,500 in the following Week he was Convinced the market "owed" him, he revenge traded news events without a plan and Another $1,000 gone, then to the third Week which he still lost another $500 before he finally paused. Now I know he has a setvuonbut the question is Was he trading for an edge, or just fighting the market out of anger? **The Turning Point** for him was when realized he wasn’t trading he was gambling He took a month off, studied his mistakes, and rebuilt his strategy with strict rules to build his confidence by starting off with **Smaller positions** (1% risk per trade) learned how to remove his emotions from his set up with No emotional entries as he is now waiting for confirmed setups) and started to **Journaling every trade** (to track patterns) . After a few months he was back to breakeven and even make i little profit which he labeled as his trading school fees and this happend because he was not revenge, alsl because he had refined his edge. ### **If You are Trading or Revenge Trading?** Ask yourself: ✅ **Am I following my strategy, or impulsively chasing losses?** ✅ **Do I have a proven edge, or am I just hoping luck will save me?** ✅ **Would I take this trade if I were in profit, or only because I’m down?** If you’re trading out of frustration **stop.** The market doesn’t care about your losses, But if you can step back reassess and return with discipline there’s always a way forward.
