Spotting revenge trading in your MT4 and MT5 history.

Published by Intelligec · Editorial and evidence policy

Revenge trading is entering an unplanned trade soon after a loss to win the money back. You can spot it by comparing trades opened shortly after a loss with the rest of your trades: size, timing and results. Intelligec journals your trades and flags behaviour patterns like this as a supporting feature.

What it looks like

• A new trade opens minutes after a loss closes.
• The lot size is larger than your usual size.
• The setup breaks your normal rules, or has no clear plan.
• The stop-loss is wider, or missing.

Check it yourself

1. Export your account history from MT4 or MT5.
2. Mark each trade that opened within a short window after a loss. Pick a window that fits your style.
3. Compare those trades with the rest: average size, win rate, average loss.
4. If the post-loss group is consistently worse, you have a pattern to fix.

What helps

• A fixed pause after a loss.
• A daily loss limit you do not override.
• A stop-loss on every trade, set before entry.
• A journal you actually review.

Where Intelligec fits

Intelligec is being built to judge and manage trades you enter manually, using a one-time AI assessment at entry. As a supporting feature, it journals each trade when it closes and builds behaviour verdicts over time, including emotional and revenge trading patterns. The AI also learns how you trade.

It is a second opinion, not financial advice. Intelligec is in early access; the site is a waitlist.
