Not stopping after reaching daily loss or emotional limits

Knowing When to Stop Is a Trading Skill
One of the most underestimated skills in trading is knowing when to stop. Some traders continue trading after hitting their daily loss threshold or while emotionally frustrated, believing one more trade will fix the situation.
Market Rush enforces daily loss and drawdown rules specifically to prevent this spiral. Once these limits are reached or closely approached, continuing to trade dramatically increases the probability of a full account failure.
Emotional Losses Count Too
Even if numerical limits have not been breached, emotional instability often leads to poor execution, ignored stop losses, and impulsive entries. These behaviours are inconsistent with professional intraday trading.
Disciplined traders treat stopping early as a success, not a failure. Protecting the account is always more important than forcing another trade.
