I think that trading is one of the most stressful things.
It is a rollercoaster of emotions and if you do not have an outlet,you will make some mistakes easily.
How do you cope with the stress of trading?
1. Stop when you are already being compulsive
2. When you dont know on what you are doing or doesnt really end up on having any strategies in mind
3. Distract yourself on something which could make you calm.
4. Go back in trading when you had already calmed yourself
Whenever you do get yourself some experience on this market then you would eventually learn up for you to handle your emotion as you do go by.
Yes, it will be hard to control our emotions when trading at first but we will learn to handle them as time goes by. Trading can end up a stressful thing if we keep on making losses rather than expecting to make profits. And it will never be avoided for sure because if you become a trader, expect things that are not on your plan and losing is really a big part of it.
But we all have different way on how to conquer it. I personally take a break from trading when things becomes so hard to make profits and so i just leave trading and come back only when my mind is already at peace. Most of the time, i enjoy having a good talk with my family and friends and do some refreshing activities and after that, i'm ready for trading again.
Having a break is always been suggested because trading is indeed a stressful thing and on the time i do experience stress and anger then i do play some games specially e-sports or mmropg.
On this way i do really ease up myself and able to go back in track with calm and relax mind and it is much better if you do have this kind of control because if you do proceed on trades
with having that distracted mind because of emotion then you would really be experiencing more mistakes which should really be avoided.
