Quote from trader198:

I never smashed any thing when trading. but when my wife criticized my trading or gave me some unwise suggestions or disturb me, I smashed dishes and mouses (broken severals), keyboards(one time, lost a key), just want to lock myself into a quiet place and think clearly.

when I was trading, I like to focus, no distractions. sometimes my wife think making money in trading is easy,she wants to talk to me about other things (I am a guy who could not multi-task) such as lawn grass cutting or tell me my dish plate is not cleaned or want my clothes to take off to the laundry so she can wash etc., loss does not cause me any anger. my anger is from when someone tries to distract me or disturb me when I was trading, and I could not get rid of those distractions or disturnbances even I try my best, my wife soemtimes seem she did not get it, then I become very angry.



why aren't you divorced?

I take Karate, it is a great physical release. When sitting at the computer I am normally pretty damned fatigued and have nothing left in me to consider anything violent.

If I ever get worked up emotionally, I do pushups to exhaustion.

Your decisions, your moves, your order placements land all on your lap. Nobody else's fault your last trade was a loser but yours.

But if you do need to vent and release a little anger,
Try a Bozo Bopper!

Have thought about it and joked about tossing monitors out the window, but haven't done it. The worst I have done is grab the gun and load a clip. Went into the basement and killed a bunch of boards, and the arm of a couch. Also almost went deaf as I forgot my earplugs and over ear protection. Holy crap did my ears ring. That was after the first shot. Went and got the ear protection for the rest of the clip.
Yes, I have it set up safely. From only 20 feet away 9mm can cruise through quite a few .5 in thick pine boards. I have about a thousand of them in the basement from when the kids were in Tae Kwon Do, and they got to keep the boards they broke.
I vent and move on, and for me it works. My head is clear quickly, and I can refocus. Only problem is my kids know every bad word from being home with me over summer vacations.
