Revenge trading journal

You already know what revenge trading looks like. The hard part is catching it in your own history.

Revenge trades look obvious in hindsight. In the moment, they feel like recovering a loss. MyFXJournal's weekly review detects post-loss re-entry sequences in your trade history — without you having to tag or admit anything.

Why this matters

Why traders don't catch revenge trading themselves

Manual journaling relies on honesty in the moment — which is exactly when objectivity breaks down. Most traders can identify revenge trading in others or in past screenshots. They cannot identify it in their own current-week data because they rationalise each entry as it happens. An automated review that reads the sequence — not the justification — catches what manual review misses.

The review reads your post-loss sequences: same symbol, tighter spacing, increasing size, quick re-entry after a stop.
Flagged patterns are cited to specific trades so you can see exactly where it happened rather than accepting a vague label.
The weekly coaching diagnosis connects the pattern to outcome: did the revenge trade recover, or compound the loss?

What it removes

Less admin. More clarity.

Sequence detection, not tag-based

You don't have to label a trade as revenge. The review reads the timing and sequence and flags it when the pattern is there.

Outcome-first framing

The review distinguishes between a revenge trade that happened to win (habit reinforced) and one that lost (cost confirmed). Both are problems — just different ones.

One experiment per week

The review suggests a specific, testable rule for next week: not 'stop revenge trading' but a concrete behavioural constraint you can actually measure.

How it works

Catch it in the data, not in the regret.

Connect your trades

Import via MT5 XLSX, CSV, or MT5 sync. No manual tagging needed — the review reads the raw sequence.

Get your review

When a post-loss re-entry pattern appears in your data, it surfaces in the weekly review with the specific trades cited.

Apply one fix

The review ends with a specific experiment: a rule to test next week that directly targets the pattern it found.

FAQ

The quick answers.

Do I have to manually tag revenge trades?

No. The review detects post-loss re-entry sequences automatically. You do not need to tag, label, or admit anything in the moment.

What counts as a revenge trade in the review?

A fast re-entry on the same or related symbol after a loss, often with tighter spacing, similar size, or repeating direction. The review looks at the sequence — not just the tag.

What if the revenge trade actually won?

The review handles this case specifically. A winning revenge trade reinforces the habit without validating the decision. The coaching diagnosis explains the difference.

Is this only for forex?

No. The behavioral review works for any instrument you trade through MT5 — forex, indices, commodities, crypto.
