After a loss: separate the next setup from recovery
The next trade does not owe you the previous loss. A recovery target can quietly change position size, entry criteria or the number of attempts. A pause rule should define what triggers a stop, what evidence permits a later review, and when that review occurs. It is a process safeguard, not a promise that waiting improves returns.
Trading example
After two losses, a trader doubles size to get back to even. The market setup is unchanged; only the account target changed. Record this as a process deviation even if that next trade wins.
Try this in your journal
Review five post-loss decisions. Mark whether size, entry or attempt count changed, and whether each change was planned before the loss. Draft a pause rule and rehearse it in simulation.
Check your understanding
Would you take the same setup and size if the previous loss had never happened? Can you identify compliance independently of profit?
