How do you control emotions after hitting a stop loss?
Sometimes after taking a loss, it's difficult to stay patient and follow the trading plan. Do you take a break or continue trading? I would like to know how other traders handle this situation.

Taking a break after hitting a stop loss is usually the safest approach. Continuing to trade immediately often leads to revenge trading, which can quickly breach daily loss limits on a prop account. When emotions spike, step away from the charts to reset your mindset.
Close your trading platform after a loss.
Review your trade log later with a clear head.
Stick strictly to your risk management plan.
