What Happens to Your Brain When You Lose a Trade?

Nothing. Just got some hiccup (trade went a bit red) at early morning hours. Then I managed to hedge and average some of it and now that account is even on daily profit. Business as usual. Just do not give in too much onto that psychological bs.

My point is - negative trades come as routine as one can keep attitude that positive trades will also come on the horizon.

wokayyyy

What happens to your brain when you lose a trade? Must be the same thing that happens to those who suffer from TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) - can't be logical anymore and go on tilt!

It gets sharper.

what about if you don't have any brain?

The worse thing I suffer from is FOMO, I would like that cut out of my brain!

"Typical traders go through the exercise of convincing themselves that they're right before they get into a trade because the alternative (being wrong) is simply unacceptable.
Remember that our minds are wired to associate.
As a result, being wrong on any given trade has the potential to be associated with any (or every) other
experience in a trader's life where he's been wrong.
The implication is that any trade can easily tap him into the accumulated pain of every time he has been wrong in his life.
Given the huge backlog of unresolved, negative energy surrounding what it means to be wrong that exists in most people, it's easy to see why each and every trade can literally take on the significance of a life or death situation."
Trading in the zone - Mark Douglas (R.I.P.)

Regarding the Mark Douglas quote, not only can every trade seem to have life or death significance, the downside profundity of his statement is that every unrealized intention can become rationalized to mean that one's decisions about everything are questionably wrong. It it imperative that as traders we must compartmentalize what we do from who we truly are. Doing does not equal Being at the deepest level of life. So long as one doesn't identify with what one does as if that represents who you truly are, you are free to be in the present moment -- not as something that happened in the past, but as Presence. Objectification of one's identity is always a mistaken identity.

Actually it depends on how much you lost. The more you lose, the more brain cells are also lost. But if you then win most of the lost brain cells grow back. It's the only known instance of brain cells actually regenerating.

My brain? Still inside my head
