The Revenge Trader
Chases losses, trades emotionally.
A loss doesn't feel like a loss — it feels personal. So you go get it back, right now, bigger. The problem: research shows a loss hurts about twice as much as an equal gain feels good, and that pain is driving the mouse. This is the fastest-known way to turn a small red day into a blown account.
Loss aversion + "get-even-itis". The next trade has no memory of your last loss — but your amygdala does.
- +Persistent — never gives up
- +Highly motivated
