It's easy to focus on preventing losses in crypto, but the real danger often lurks right after one. The problem isn't the loss itself; it's the subsequent trade you're tempted to make.

This destructive "revenge trading" kicks in when a recent hit feels too big to absorb. You close a position, see the red, and that immediate urge to "fix it" can be overwhelming. Suddenly, your next entry isn't based on a solid setup anymore; it's just an emotional attempt to recover quickly.

This is exactly why proper position sizing is absolutely critical, especially with volatile assets like $BTC or $ETH. If you're only losing 0.5% or 1% of your capital on a single trade, that "damage" feels far less significant. There's less pressure, less urgency to chase it back.

Protecting your capital means protecting your psychology first. Don't let one bad trade dictate the next. Keep your sizes small, and you'll keep your head in the game. $SOL
