Revenge Trading
Trying to immediately win back a loss, usually by breaking your rules.
Definition
Revenge trading is taking impulsive trades right after a loss to "get even" with the market. It is driven by frustration, not analysis, and often leads to bigger position sizes and bigger losses. Spotting the urge early is the best defence.
Example
You lose on a trade, feel angry, and immediately double your size to win it back — then lose again, deeper. That is revenge trading.
