    The cool thing is I am a totally systematic trader, so I do not suffer much at all from that kind of stress. But I was interested in that topic overall, because it can have some interesting aspects when finetuning the strategy.

    I'm expecting the WHO, before year end to downgrade the Pandemic to an Endemic even though most countries have already removed or plan soon to remove the last remaining Covid restrictions.

    Also, everybody has a different reaction to the latest variant but it's dependent upon your underlying medical conditions and the location you're residing (high infection community versus low infection community) plus your behavior habits in this Pandemic (eating good nutrition versus bad nutrition).

    Simply, some people that get Covid now only experience a few days of sore throat, coughing, and a little tiredness. Others have lingering brain fog and some heart/respiratory issues. Yet, about 3.4% of people in the world are dying but that percentage number is more weighted towards the first few months of the year. I've met a few people in my recent travels and they said it was only a mild illness...no different than the flu.

    If you are a sugar addict, then you really must journalling your eating behavior in relation to your trading success every time you eat some sugar. Because then you have an energy peak for a short period of time (that is good) but a much longer downside time period (not good because you get tired too and concentration is worse and your attention span is shorter). The bad thing with sugar is that it is this assymetric phases of high and low energy with much the longer low energy phase. And when you trade then you feel you need to put in more sugar in the low energy phase to get it up quickly again. That is a kind of dilemma here. I would like to hear or see your records then about how trading goes with those sugar take-in all the time.

    Sorry, do not have it on my fingertips, because it is not that trading relevant for me. So far I had not discovered a relationship between coffee and trading success. So you need to do your own google search, sorry for that.

    No that will just be an annoying distraction and in trading, you have to be 100% focused and the less distraction, the better.

    Elevated heart rate is a stress response. Trading should not cause elevated heart rate. If it does, probably means you're nervous because you don't have an edge.
