Taking impulsive trades after a loss to "make it back" — the fastest way to blow up.
After a loss, your brain wants to recover immediately. You take bigger positions, skip your checklist, ignore stops. This turns a $100 loss into $500. The fix: walk away after 2 consecutive losses. Journal the loss. Come back tomorrow with a clear head. One bad day should never become a bad week.
