Avoid revenge-trading

[Ethan]

To survive long in Forex, avoid revenge-trading. Acting out of frustration after a loss often leads to bigger mistakes and deeper losses. Instead, stay calm, analyze logically, and follow a disciplined plan. Emotional decisions harm your progress; rational trading ensures long-term success and consistency.

That's why the veterans have proper trade plan to execute and even if loss is occured during the executions they does not make any extra trades referred as revenge trading. They better stick to the plan and review it for the necessary improvements rather recovering their losses.

1 on having a written plan. My ‘cool-down’ rule with HFM is no new orders for 30 minutes after a loss and I review only when flat. It’s boring, but it breaks the impulse loop that leads to revenge trades

I stopped revenge trading after losing three accounts. It’s useless and only makes you lose faster. When I lose now, I just close my laptop and take a walk. The next day, I can see my mistake clearly. Trading with a calm mind always gives better results.

I keep a written checklist traidng with hfm and won’t re-enter until the next session; time heals FOMO.

Written plans are the best navigation tools to tell you where to go, so better stick with them once the target is achieved.
