How to deal with stress for a trader (day trader)

In small amounts, stress can motivate and give rise to sports anger., but when the tension snowballs, it can be very draining.

In addition to the usual stress-relieving tips like “exercise regularly, eat well and sleep ", I would like to share with you some philosophical thoughts, starting with a hackneyed lecture on stress:

A young girl walked confidently around the room and had a conversation with the audience about ways to manage stress.; she had a glass of water in her hand, and everyone understood, that now she will ask the famous question: “This glass is half empty or half full?"But she twisted everyone around her finger and instead asked with a smile: "How much does this glass of water weigh??»Answers fell within the range of 8 to 20 ounces.

To this she replied: “Absolute weight is irrelevant.. Всё зависит от того, how long do i hold this glass. If I hold it for a minute, никакой проблемы нет. If I hold him for an hour, my arm will hurt. If I keep it for 24 hours, have to call an ambulance. In all cases, the weight is the same, but the longer I hold this glass, the heavier it gets. "

She continued: “Stress is exactly the same.. If we carry our burdens constantly, then sooner or later, when it gets too hard, we won't be able to take it anymore ".

“As with a glass of water, from time to time you should relieve your stress and take a break from it. After resting, you will be ready to take on this burden again, dealing with it more and more confidently each time. "

Here are some more thoughts, which are worth pondering for intraday traders:

  Super Traders - Richie (part 6)

1. Do not forget, that there are only four possible outcomes:

  • You traded well, показав хороший результат (rarely happens, but brings the most pleasure);
  • You traded well, failing (professional traders tend to overestimate the percentage of such outcomes);
  • You traded badly, показав хороший результат (pro traders tend to underestimate the percentage of such outcomes);
  • You traded badly, failing (leads to an early limit).
2. There is no need to compare your results with those of any other trader., since none of them followed your path. Rejoice in other people's successes, и тогда, when your day comes, others will just as much rejoice at your.
3. “Never buy a car, which you cannot push. " Adapting this saying to trading, do not borrow and do not risk an exorbitant amount of money. Although, если наблюдать за некоторыми трейдерами , can see, that life does not teach them anything.
4. Дышите медленнее. Just unbelieveble, how the consciousness clears up and the tension goes away, when your brain gets more oxygen with deeper and slower breaths.
5. Remember, что инструмент который вы торгуете находится вне вашего контроля, поэтому в трейдинге редко бывает так, как вы хотите. Appreciate and enjoy the, what do you have.
6. Всегда анализируйте свою точку зрения. Я гарантирую, that there is always an alternative view, accepting which, you will feel less stress about your situation.
