Key insights
- A trader recounts losing profits through 'revenge trading' and highlights the importance of pre-defined trading rules and journaling losses. The post suggests that identifying and avoiding specific times of day when losses are frequent can improve trading outcomes. While relevant to individual traders, the overall U.S. market impact is limited.
back in 2025, I blew 3 months of wins chasing losses. Lose once? Jump back bigger, try to win it back, gone every time.
Simple fix: Write your 3 rules before trading (like "no trades after lunch"). Check weekly what times suck? Mine: late afternoons, always lost big.
Wins got way better after. No fancy tools needed, saw this rule trick on tradexis, I reckon journalling losses consistently eases the process and lets u be calm.
What are your rules to stop chasing gains after losses ? What worked?
