Avoid the Recovery Trap

Spot on. Increasing trade size after a loss is a classic psychological trap known as revenge trading or the Martingale fallacy, and it is one of the fastest ways to blow an account. When trading with a prop firm, managing risk and position sizing is critical because a single oversized trade can instantly breach your daily loss limit or trailing drawdown rule.

• Stick to a fixed risk percentage per trade.

• Step away from the screens after a consecutive loss to clear your head.
