Trading and burnout often go hand in hand – especially when you spend hours poring over charts, tracking every tick, and feeling like you "have to be constantly on the market" or you'll miss something. 1.

Introduction – revenge trading is a fact, not an accident. You've lost three trades in a row. Your balance has dropped by 5%, and you're sitting there staring at the screen with the feeling that "I have to make up for it now."

A trader's brain reacts exactly like this during market stress

Introduction: Imagine a trader who enters every trade without a plan, relying on gut instinct and the hope that the market will move in the right direction. Does he make money? Sometimes, yes. But does he make money consistently? Almost never. Now imagine a different trader—one who has a clear methodology, knows exactly what to look for on the chart, knows his entry rules, and

Introduction: Imagine two traders. Both have the same strategy, the same capital, the same tools. One makes consistent profits. The second time, they win big, the second time, they lose everything.

Practical trading isn't just another "magic course," but rather a calm, thoughtful process of figuring out a few simple things: how you make decisions, how you react to losses, and how you learn from your mistakes.

I'm 48 years old. I work full-time. I've been making money in the stock market for some time now. But it wasn't always this easy. Three years ago, I lost 12,000 PLN in just six months.
