Revenge tradingnuksan ka badla lene ke liye trade karna

Jumping straight back into the market after a loss to win the money back, usually with bigger size and no plan, which deepens the loss.

Revenge trading is the urge to recover a loss immediately by taking another trade, usually larger and less thought out, in the same session. The loss feels like an insult and the next trade becomes about pride rather than probability. Suppose you lose ₹3,000 on a Nifty option in the morning and, angry, buy double the lots on the next move without a stop; by lunch the loss is ₹12,000. This pattern turns an ordinary losing day into an account-damaging one, and it is among the most common ways beginners blow up. The defence is a rule written in advance: after a loss of a set size, or two losses in a row, stop for the day. Close the platform, walk away, and review in your journal. The market will open again tomorrow with the same opportunities.
