How do you trade after a bad night's sleep?
Tired sessions are a fact of life, not an excuse to skip risk management. The question is how you adapt when you show up drained.
What's your tired-day protocol?
- how you recognise you're not sharp
- the size or frequency adjustments you make
- whether you skip the session entirely
The overtrading guide describes how tiredness produces exactly those trades.
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.
