The trade after the loss
What is revenge trading costing you?
Revenge trading is the trade you take to win a loss back fast — bigger size, outside your plan, minutes after the red print. It feels like getting even. It is the single most reliable way to turn a small loss into a blown account.

It usually isn't your strategy.
Most accounts don't blow up on a bad setup. They blow up on what the trader does after a loss. Here's what that looks like.
It is physiological, not a character flaw
A loss spikes stress hormones and narrows your judgment for a window of minutes. In that window you reach for size and skip your checklist. It is not weakness — it is your body reacting. But the account still pays for it.
The size tells on you
You can spot revenge in your own data: a trade well above your normal size, taken minutes after a real loss. Stack up the losses on those trades and the cost is usually far bigger than any single bad day.
The tired days are the worst days
Revenge bites hardest when you are already depleted — poor sleep, high stress, a long week. The same loss that you shrug off on a good day sends you on tilt on a bad one. The difference is the day you brought to the desk.
