Losses feel stronger than gains of the same size. This often leads to revenge trading, higher risk-taking or abandoning a working strategy. In reality, consecutive losses are a normal part of trading statistics, even for profitable systems. The key mistake is changing behaviour instead of reviewing risk and execution.<\/p>\n
Success can be just as dangerous. A series of wins often triggers overconfidence. Traders increase position sizes, loosen rules or believe the market \u201cowes\u201d them more. This usually ends with profits being given back\u00a0quickly.<\/p>\n
