The fear that a trend is leaving without you drives late entries and oversized positions. The cure isn't reassurance — it's acceptance that trends are missed and new ones arrive.

Background: Revenge trading and overtrading: how to spot them and stop
Trading to win back a loss, or trading out of boredom, are two of the fastest ways to damage an account. Learn the warning signs and the rules that interrupt them.
What is revenge trading?
Opening a trade to win back a recent loss rather than because your trading plan gives a signal, often with a bigger position than usual.
How do I stop overtrading?
Set a maximum number of trades and a daily loss limit in advance, require a written reason from your plan before each entry, and check in your journal whether the extra trades have helped or hurt your results.
