Trader does A to get to point 1

after point 1 trader is euphoric and starts doing B (even though A is the thing that got him to point 1 in the first place)

literally the worst thing you can do when you get success is to... stop doing what got you to that point in the first place

works same in reverse

after you experience a big loss, you don't start doing new stuff, you keep doing what has worked well for you so far

this is why tilt is so destructive, mfers will make a bunch of money then lose 20%, and instead of a minor adjustment to make sure they can't face a big drawdown again they'll enter super saiyan degen and start hyper gambling, ignoring everything they've learnt so far and blowing up the rest of their 80%
