Losses alone never broke me. What actually hurt wasn't the red candles—it was that desperate itch to chase them back. You know the feeling: panic selling turns into revenge trading, and suddenly you're throwing good money after bad. That hunger to recover fast? It killed my objectivity. Every decision became emotional instead of calculated. The real damage happens when you stop thinking and start hunting for a comeback.

Looking back, the most heartbreaking part of losses isn't the decline itself, but the obsession with recovering it... Once you start revenge trading, it's over.

Ah, that's the problem. Losses aren't really a big deal; I'm just worried that if the momentum isn't right, I'll start making reckless moves.

Only during the review do I realize that losing money isn't the deadliest thing; the real danger is the obsession with trying to recover losses at all costs.

This is my blood and tears lesson. No matter how many times I review, I can't forget that feeling... Revenge trading can really ruin a person.

Really, the most heartbreaking part of a review isn't the loss itself, but the obsession to recover it... the feeling of gradually getting trapped.

Revenge trading is really poison; once you get caught up in it, it's over, and your brain just shuts down.

That's the truth. Losses themselves aren't a big deal; the real issue is that kind of crazy desire to recover everything that can really ruin a person.

Only when reviewing losses do I realize that what truly cuts me down isn't the decline, but that obsessive urge to recover losses at all costs. Once I start revenge trading, it's over; my brain completely shuts down.
