I've seen the priciest emotion, and it's called betting against the market. After getting stopped out, the price instantly rebounded, and I was holding my breath, finding any spot to jump back in, only to see it really tank this time. I missed out on a whole wave of movement, and the more I watched, the worse it felt. I forced myself to find a reason to enter, and ended up getting in at the peak. I've experienced both situations, and in just a day or two, I gave back the profits I made the previous week. The market doesn't care how much you've lost, or that you've missed out; it won't change direction just because you're angry.

The only consequence of betting against the market is that your emotional cost is paid by you. Every time I feel like making an emotional trade, I now do one thing: I close the trading app, find something else to do, and wait for the emotions to pass before making any moves.
