Revenge Trading Detector monitors your live trading activity and automatically identifies the moments when emotion, not strategy, is driving your decisions. Most traders know what revenge trading feels like. This indicator shows you exactly what it's costing you.

WHAT IT ANALYSES

The indicator watches your trade history in real time and checks three conditions every time a new position is opened:

- Did the previous trade close at a loss?

- Was the new position opened within 10 minutes of that close?

- Is the new position size larger than the previous one?

When all three conditions are met simultaneously, a revenge trade is flagged. The indicator also scans your full 30-day history to identify every past instance of this pattern.

SIGNALS AND VISUAL ELEMENTS

Alerts are graded into three severity levels based on the size of the loss, how quickly the new trade was opened, and how much the position size increased:

CAUTION (yellow) - One or more warning signs present. Slow down and review your plan.

WARNING (orange) - Clear revenge trade pattern detected. Step away before continuing.

CRITICAL (red) - High-severity pattern. Close cTrader and return in 30 minutes.

All alerts display directly on the chart. A persistent statistics panel shows:

- Total amount lost to revenge trades over the last 30 days

- Revenge trade win rate vs. normal trade win rate side by side

- Total number of revenge trades as a share of all closed trades
