I hope all traders on this forum a good 2025. I advice all traders to pay attention to their trading activities. Trading can be time demanding because if you win, your brain will tell you to continue to trade and you will open new position and watching the market. Also if you are losing, you will keep on watching the market even in the night when you suppose to be sleeping. I have been trading for some years now and I know how it is if there should not deceives ourselves. My advice for all traders this year is to make sure that you do not let trading affect your sleeping time. Also make sure you have time for yourself and not trade everytime.
Has trading not affected you before in a way that you did not sleep because of trading?
The reason why I prefer to be a holder is because I experienced what you mentioned, it happened a few years ago, all thoughts were only filled with trading how to open a position and take profit if there is a loss thinking about how much capital should be increased in order to cover the loss and get more profit again.
I am quite sure that many traders experience this because I saw myself how one of my closest people experienced this, especially during the bullish period they thought they would continue to profit so they didn't want to miss the opportunity to get more profit.
If trading dominates you too much then you need to evaluate yourself because this can damage your physical and mental health.
