A trader shares how they handle the stress of trading: sauna, meditation, gym, walks. They plan to leave trading in three to four years when starting a family, and learned to accept losses as part of the game to stay calm.
How are you able to deal with such high levels of stress on certain days? Like, how are you switching off, Going.
To sauna, meditating, gym, going for walks, going for runs? I always say in three, four years, I want to. I want to step away from trading. It's just one of those things that I don't see myself doing forever. It's extremely stressful job. It's extremely stressful career. It's helped me get to where I'm at and helped me get into other businesses. So I'm extremely grateful for it. Now, the next stage in my life, maybe in three, four years, I would look to leave it, especially if and when I have a family, because it is very, very stressful. The stress is not as much as it was in year 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Because I've. I've understood that, hey, losses are part of the game. I will lose money in some trades. I will have updates, I will have down days, and I have to keep thinking about the next 1,000 trading days or 1,000 trades in general. And that allows me to just kind of stay calm. But I do have days where I lose money.
