Have you ever done this kind of operation:

Enter a trade, and the direction is wrong.
At first, you are only slightly losing.
You can accept it, and you can analyze it.
You look at the market chart and think:
👉 "It's okay, this kind of pullback is normal."

This is the real process of most people's losses:
The first trade is a judgment error.
The subsequent additions are emotional escalation.

Many people always think:
Adding positions is to "optimize costs."
But in fact, what you're doing is
