When losses spiral and emotions take over, that's when traders shift from strategy to revenge. You start making impulsive moves, bigger bets, reckless positions—all to claw back what you've lost. But here's the harsh truth: revenge trading doesn't recover losses, it accelerates them.

Your account bleeds faster. Your judgment crumbles. The market couldn't care less about your portfolio's red numbers—it has no sympathy, no memory of what you were down yesterday.

The only way forward? Stop chasing. Reset your mindset. Stick to your system, manage your risk properly, and trade with discipline instead of desperation. That's how accounts survive. That's how traders actually recover.
