Short discussion on the stress and pressure inherent to trading, especially for beginners or when performing poorly, and practical ways to manage that stress (exercise, sleep, diet, meditation) so trading performance and execution improve. Emphasizes that stress is inevitable but can be reduced through lifestyle and coping strategies.
So trading has a lot of stress and pressure that obviously comes with it. Even at a stage where you, quote, unquote, are doing well, it's even worse when you're down, when you're first starting out. Right? So the idea is for me to make sure I'm going to the gym, make sure I'm going for runs, making sure I'm offsetting stress, making sure I'm getting proper sleep, making sure I'm eating well, make sure I'm going to the gym, meditation, things like that, to offset stress. Because if my stress is a high level, I'm not going to perform well, I'm not going to execute well. I'm not. I'm not going to be good in front of the screens. The market is going crazy, right? So the idea is to make sure your stress factors are low. Your stress factors are taken care of. Now, will I say don't stress? No, you're gonna stress. Everyone's different. Some people are gonna stress more than others. But the idea is, how do you. How do you kind of balance out the stress? How do you make the stress go lower when you do feel it? How do you make the anxiety go lower for people that do have it?
