[Risk Compensation Trap] The reason why people who raise their lot sizes due to the ease of placing stop-losses turn their FX protection into an excuse for aggression
If you place a stop-loss order, doesn’t it feel a little reassuring? That sense of security can subtly cause you to make bigger subsequent decisions without realizing it.
The risk compensation effect that grows bolder as you take safety measures
There is a saying that cars with seat belts tend to go faster. The more safety measures you have, the more people subconsciously take on risk again. This is a psychology phenomenon called risk compensation, or the Vorsatz effect.
The same thing happens in FX as well. For example, the moment you think, "I’ve placed the stop-loss, so it’s okay," you might increase your position size more than usual, or enter even when the conditions are slightly short. The stop-loss intended for protection gradually becomes a license to attack without you noticing.
Placing a stop-loss itself is very important. The issue isthat you tend to add risk somewhere else in proportion to how secure you feelbecause of that.
A way of thinking about a pattern that doesn't change with reassurance
Investment Skill Share is a course that explains a discretionary FX method built over eight years as a set of entry, take-profit, and stop-loss patterns. You don’t need to watch the charts all the time; you check them only during designated times.
Since the entering conditions, exit positions, and stop-loss levels are set from the start, there’s little room to vary the lot size and conditions based on your mood or sense of security. Because defense and offense share the same rules, it’s hard to move one side conveniently without affecting the other.
With this method’s rules, a profit and loss chart from an initial margin of 1,000,000 yen with a leverage of 25x and 1,000x is presented.
Even with a pattern, human minds tend to loosen up when they feel secure. That’s why it’s reassuring to have a place where you can verify whether your trades still follow the pattern with someone else.
Keep an environment nearby that helps you notice looseness
We provide fully personalized guidance through a buyers-only talk room and online calls. You can consult even small discrepancies such as “I feel my lots are gradually increasing.” The full manual of the method is included, so when you’re unsure, you can always return to the original form.
As a bonus, you’ll receive unlimited access to all signs tools and indicators, one account each, as part of the package. It’s especially nice to be confident as you add tools, as long as you keep checking the pattern while using them.
