The essence why we trade is to make profit through taking and in trading the outcome we get is either lost or gain, but some people have taking trading to make profits as a do or die affairs, if they don't get exactly the profits they want, they would want to continue to get what they have targeted as profits. A mindset like this can lead to emotional feelings which can never be helpful to trading , people should learn to accept their lose and learn more to know what could be the cause for their failure in trading to get profits, than just trading continuously in lose without getting a good knowledge for better outcomes.
We all trade for profits, that some traders resort into trading with high emotions and when they fail in their trades, they easily become frustrated and eventually lost their concentration in trading. And it’s like a do or die thing like you said. However, I also believe that this can’t be avoided most especially for beginner traders as they tend to be highly emotional at first, but when they start learning some lessons in trading, that’s when they get wiser and become cautious when trading.
