emotions can have an impact on our trading decisions since we're not robots. Finding a balance is key.
Trading is for people who are emotionally stable and not prone to mental illnesses or periods of elation from gains which could lead to overconfidence
I think that for high-quality trading, a trader should not be distracted by anything. He should be focused only on the trading process in order not to make mistakes and not to receive losses. Therefore, if on certain days he is in a depressed state, there are some problems or depression, then it is better to first get himself in order and solve the problems, and only then move on to trading.
avoid trading when you are not in the right state of mind, one bad decision can cost us a lot, in my case if i dont feel good about how i see things i just pause or maybe let the day slide. its better to not earn at least u wont lose than gamble with bad decisions.
Depression also affects the ability to make rational decisions, manage emotions and control stress, which is critical for successful trading. Therefore, it is better not to trade on such days.
Depression effects everything. Most simple free solution, - fitness. Going out during ,, one of those days '' with a single goal in mind, to f yourself up. Exercise to a point, where coming back home and falling into your bed will feel like a blessing. When you're exhausted, the last thing you want to be is depressed. In 20 years of fitness, never seen a depressed - natty. And natty is the key here, because gear has all kinds of weird side effects. Never seen a natty - depressed person. I think that suggest something. The only thing that might be causing depression, is the smiles from girls/women, when they see you with tshirt, it becomes so casual, where you start to miss good old days when it used to be something rare and special. (big smile)
Next winter it will be 20 years that i am doing pushups, chinups, alone in darkness, during the winter storms at 10 PM. No living soul around in hundred yards. Occasionally some person with a doge in distance. Just now as i am writing this, returned from outside, strong winter wind, almost knocked me off/some storm like. This evening did it for legs, was climbing up and down, again and again, huge stone stairs (unusual size/not typical). Too, tired, to be, - depressed. For anyone out there reading this, try it, will cost nothing, will give, timestamped 0:13s
