This is the other big one. A lot of traders get creamed in the market and then want to strike back. So they double their last order and go for broke.
This is natural, and I still deal with this emotion every day. The problem is, how does one combat this?
Do not underestimate this emotion. It will drive you to ruin if you let it. The market is not your friend. The market is so much more powerful than you are. You cannot get “back at” the market. Trading when angry or vengeful will be a total disaster. If you get rocked on the market, then back up, take a deep breath, and talk to a mentor. Re-read the charts. Take a break. Even if you think you see the best opportunity in the world after you get blasted – just take a break. There will be trades tomorrow.
