How to actually "step away" effectively, and avoid overtrading.
1: Mark up your levels/ranges.
2: Set alerts at a POI (above and below price) where your strategy aligns to meet a potential trade execution.
3: Walk away.
4: Return only when the alarm triggers.
How you think, creates how you feel.
How you feel becomes an emotion.
That emotion becomes a vibration.
That vibration becomes a magnet, that attracts things to you, also repels things away from you.
Only think about what you want.
Forget about what you don't want.
Never speak about what you don't have.
If it's no enemy on the inside of your mind, no enemy on the outside could ever do you or your body any harm.
Don't look out the window. Look in the mirror.
Fuck what they say.
Fuck how they feel.
Do you.
Do what you want to do. And be good at it.
Just make sure what you do is good to you, and for you.
Trading with near-daily applied effort and passion took me 2-3 years to find absolute confidence in my analysis and execution.
And that's whilst studying an MEng at University + Job.
For the newbie trader, a single trading loss is often a tragedy.
For the seasoned trader, a single trading loss is merely a thought.
The difference?
Simply not giving a shi about making money.
Unpopular opinion: Trading really isn't that boring.
Although...
It's the same process. same setup. same risk. same session. every. day.
I find I often yield satisfaction in the analysis or execution, regardless of the outcome.
