  2. I think coffee works just perfect for me. It helps me clear my mind and focus on my trade plans.

  3. Maybe your organism is just too sensitive to coffee, so that it affects you this way.
    As for me, coffee has become a thing that I cannot live without. It gives me energy and concentration, which allows me to be active but not too active. The funniest thing is that if I don't drink coffee in the morning, then I will be sleepy all day long. Some might say that coffee is harmful for health, but it is not true. The adequate amount of coffee (2-3 cups a day) does lots of positive things to your health and reduces the chances of heart attacks in the future. More than that, it stimulates concentration and mental and physical activity. If you have psychological problems associated with drinking coffee, then it is better for you to stop drinking it or you should not make it as strong as it is now.
    Anyway, everyone has their own tricks which help them feel better. Such things are mostly individual, so, if you cannot trade efficiently drinking coffee, then just stop drinking coffee. That's it.

    In my case, it happens the opposite. I feel sleepy after having coffee so I prefer not to consume it much.

    I have a disease that makes me very fatigued, so I drink about 24 cups of coffee a day for 3 weeks then take few days off from it, sleeping most of it, then resume. But I don't drink fancy sugary lattes. Been at it so long, doesn't affect my abilities, don't get shakes if I don't drink it, just get sleepy.

    Thank you.
    But it is like 6 of one and half dozen of another. I don't want to sleep 20 hours a day only to fall asleep 30 minutes after I get up. I have tried CPAP for several years and that seemed to make me even more fatigued. I deal with it best I can. Coffee one of those products ever few years physicians change their mind.

    To help with coffee jitters, take theanine with the coffee or afterwards and you will be calm as a cucumber with laser focus.

    I drink one cup of coffee a day a couple of hours after I wake up. I drink it black and add black pepper, turmeric, and cocao power. Because it looks like mud at the bottom of my coffee cup, I then add the lemon water (which I started drinking after waking up) to drink the mud and take these pills with it:

    Then during the day when I need an energy boost or when I don't drink coffee in the morning on weekends, I take this one. It has been a game changer. It helps me get in the flow state or continue grinding when doing physical activity.
