Quote from oraclewizard77:
Every time you trade, you need to be focused, have a goal, remember your setups. Wait for your setups. If you lose, don't get emotional, don't revenge trade, wait for the next day to calmly trade correctly your edge.
I made some money this week, but I was scared of giving it back on Friday, so instead of trading with real money, I sim traded, and of course made a profit. I should have realized that if I just set a normal stop, worse case, I would have only given back a little profit if I lost on a trade on Friday.
I think the cause of revenge trading is not being able to take a loss, but its easier to make back your money, if you don't keep digging. Just remember some days, your setups may not work, so don't keep trading on those days.
