📉 Real Case: Paul Tudor Jones & Overtrading
Even legendary traders had to fight the urge to overtrade.
Paul Tudor Jones (PTJ), one of the world’s most successful macro traders, has openly talked about how overtrading and emotional decisions almost destroyed him early in his career.
He became famous for his strict discipline rule:
“Losers average losers.”
In simple words: if a position is losing, don’t keep adding more size hoping it will turn around.
PTJ realised that when he started taking too many trades, too fast, it was almost never about strategy. It was about discomfort, ego, and fear of missing out. His solution was to reduce size, slow down, and go back to his plan.
