Revenge Trading and the Overtrading Trap

What Is Revenge Trading?

Revenge trading is the attempt to immediately "win back" a loss, usually by entering another trade quickly, often larger in size, without a proper setup. It is driven by frustration and the psychological discomfort of ending a session (or a single trade) at a loss — not by any new market opportunity.
