You are a hypothetical five hundred pounds down after two stopped trades in the London session, staring at an account panel that just dropped from five thousand to four thousand five hundred. Your order ticket opens, and you dial the lot size from one to two because one swift candle could wipe the red off the screen and bring your balance straight back to zero. You are no longer trading a setup; you are trading to escape discomfort through loss aversion, where the distress of booking a red day drives you into urgent risk just to erase the pain. But gold punishes urgency with severe intraday velocity, and a single adverse bar against doubled exposure quickly turns that initial deficit into a catastrophic drawdown. Before you execute, check the order ticket and ask: would I take this exact trade if my daily profit and loss were sitting at zero? Position size may never increase following a loss in the same trading session.
