It has been said, "markets are a cruel lover and more emotions can be experienced in a month’s worth of trading than many will experience in five year’s of normal living". As a trader, I would not dispute this statement. However, I do feel there are a number of steps you can and should take to help defuse some of the discomfort long before they become actual problems.
The first potential problem is your own physical health. After you reach early to mid-thirties, it becomes increasingly important for you to maintain your physical condition. If you feel sluggish, you will be amazed at how good you will feel by engaging in a brief period of aerobic exercise 3 to 4 times a week. All you need is 15 minutes a day where you can raise your heart rate to 80% of its maximum capacity.
You may feel your computer screen is better than mom’s apple pie. However, it is also replacing the "t" in "Stud" with a "p" as you may be turning into a computer potato. If you are using OPTIONETIC’s strategies, there is really no need to watch the computer screen all day long. Our strategies are designed to be low risk/low stress, freeing you to engage in other activities during the day.
Finally, how often do you watch ___________________ (fill in the blank with the six o’clock news, the ten o’clock news, the Today show, a football game, the Jay Leno show, Financial News Network, etc.)? If you watch your local or national news on a daily basis, you could be cycling on a stationary bike for those 30 minutes. If you do this daily, you will end up feeling much better about yourself than any news or talk show will ever make you feel. If you commit to such an exercise program, you will quickly find out you are getting much more out of your TV programs and have a "refreshed" feeling. If you are over 30, please consult with your doctor before beginning an exercise program. Being in good physical shape prepares you both physically and mentally for a successful trading career.
