tilt
A hot, upset state after losses where you stop thinking clearly and start making wild trades.
The fuller meaning
An emotional state, usually after losses, in which judgement degrades and trades become fast, oversized or unfamiliar. Journal signs include new trades within minutes of a loss or in markets you do not know; an automatic cool-down, timer or daily loss limit stops it.
