We’ve all been there…

You take a loss that stings.

You see the next setup, and without even realizing it, you’re trying to recoup your losses.

That’s revenge trading.

And with the recent price action, this email feels very relevant to send out.

Revenge trading is one of the fastest ways to undo weeks (or months) of steady progress.

When you’re in that mindset, your goal shifts from trading well to getting even.

You start forcing trades that don’t meet your criteria.

You size up when you shouldn’t.

You lose patience.

And before you know it, one small loss has turned into a much bigger one.

The key is awareness.

When you feel that urge to win back what you lost… stop.

Step away.

Review the recent loss objectively.

Ask yourself, “Did I follow my plan?”

If the answer is yes, then the loss was just part of the probabilities playing out.

Trading isn’t about winning every trade.

It’s about staying disciplined enough to keep your edge alive over the long run.

With price action all over the place, it is important to stay disciplined.

Follow your plan and let’s finish the week strong!

Here’s to success,
