When you're down money and the urge to chase losses hits hard, that's when most traders blow up their accounts. Revenge trading—jumping back in with bigger positions to recover losses quickly—sounds tempting but it's one of the fastest ways to wipe out. The psychology is brutal: emotions hijack your strategy, position sizing goes out the window, and suddenly you're risking way more than your original loss. Instead of panic trading after a drawdown, step back. Review what went wrong. Wait for your next high-conviction setup with proper risk management. The market isn't going anywhere. Your capital preservation is what matters most.
