Revenge Trading Analyzer
Measure what you do right after a losing trade: how fast you re-enter, how big you go, and how those trades turn out.
Analyze My Revenge TradingRevenge trading is trading to get back at the market: a quick, larger trade placed right after a loss to win the money back. Most traders know the feeling. Fewer know how often it actually happens in their own account, because the trades that follow a loss rarely feel unusual while you are placing them.
The signs are measurable. Re-entering sooner after a loss than after a win. Taking a larger position after a loss. Results that get worse after a run of losses. Any one of these can be coincidence; together, over dozens of trades, they form a pattern that is hard to argue with.
This analyzer compares your behavior after losing trades with your behavior after winning trades, using your own trade history. It does not label you or give advice. It reports what the numbers show and how many trades they rest on, so you can judge how much weight to give them.
If you want to understand why the urge is so strong, our guide to revenge trading and the break-even effect explains the psychology and the research behind it, with sources.

What it measures
Re-entry timing
The median wait between a trade closing and the next one opening, after a loss compared with after a win.
Size after a loss
Whether the position that follows a loss is larger than the one that follows a win.
After a losing streak
Whether trades placed after several losses in a row do worse than the rest. See the losing streak analyzer for more on streaks.
What it can't say
A quick re-entry can be a deliberate plan, and a bigger position can be a sound decision. The analyzer shows the pattern, and you supply the context.
Frequently asked questions
Is a fast re-entry after a loss always revenge trading?
No. Some strategies call for re-entering quickly, and a pattern in the numbers is not a motive. The analyzer shows whether your trading changes after losses. Whether that change is a problem depends on whether you intended it.
What if I hold several positions at once?
Re-entry timing compares when a trade opens with when the previous one closed. If positions overlap, those pairs are left out of the timing comparison rather than counted as instant re-entries.
How do I stop revenge trading?
The analysis shows whether it is happening and how, but it does not prescribe a fix. Many traders use a simple pre-agreed rule, such as a fixed pause after a loss, and check later whether the numbers moved. The if-then rules guide shows how to write one.
How many trades do I need?
With fewer than 20 trades only basic numbers are shown, because behavioral patterns need more history to mean anything. Patterns appear from 20 trades, are more meaningful from around 50, and stronger still beyond 200.
Is my trade history stored?
The file is read in memory and is not saved. Only the result of the analysis is kept: for 7 days if you do not sign in, or until you delete it if you save it to your account. The analyzer never asks for exchange passwords or API keys.
