Three losses in a row. Keep trading or stop?
The answer isn't about the market. It's about you.
Losses come in streaks, even with a good plan.
The danger is what you do next: bigger size, faster clicks, worse trades.
So set a daily loss limit before the day starts. Not after.
Example: risk 1 percent per trade, limit 3 percent. That's three losses.
On 5,000 dollars: 50 per trade, 150 for the day.
Hit the limit? Close the platform. Come back tomorrow.
Your plan will still be there tomorrow. Today, protect the account.
Save this. Streaks happen. Set the limit before you start. Hit it, close the platform.
Your turn. Three losses today. Keep going, stop, or double the size? Comment below.
