외환 트레이딩 때문에 우울해졌어요… 이런 감정, 정상인가요? 😞

Touch grass

If trading is making your mental health that bad then don't trade. If you're happy working your normal 9-5, stick with that. Just because being a self starter is the cool thing to do nowadays it doesn't mean you have to be that way.

I think stress is to be expected in the initial years of trading. But again u can reach a point where u feel less stressed and that's through actual detachment from money, and self-discipline. If it gets to a point where your health is affected, please step back for a while.

I used to feel this way too.

You feel this way because you don't have an edge, at least not yet; or you don't know that you have one. Therefore, your trading, no matter how much you may succeed, always feels like a gamble, which makes your losses not only feel like losses, but it undermines your confidence in what you do know. When you truly switch to edge-based trading (meaning, you follow rules and statistics), this feeling will go away.

I struggled with it for probably 6+ months. Once I found an actual, statistical edge, the feeling started going away. Even losses didn't matter as much because I understood the math behind them.

I had two red days on Thursday and Friday. Red days are uncommon for me. I've had 3 in the entire month. They didn't bother me because I know, statistically, they're insignificant if I follow my system. Made almost all of it back this morning.

Previously, I would have been frustrated and depressed. Now, red days are simply statistics playing out. I don't let them affect me; and consequently, it makes me a better trader.

Go vist subreddit problemgambling and search forex. U will come to know the reality of retail trading forex !!!

Trade in the morning and only 4 or 5 hours a day, not on weekends. Listen to audiobooks meanwhile. Have a nice breakfast, stretch before. Go outside when you finish working.
Don't do drugs or alcohol and sleep well.
Do you have a strategy ? Do you set up alerts to help you catch the trades ?

Stress comes from not knowing what you are doing.

Sometimes it’s good to close all the positions and don’t think about trading and charts for a few days. Do a complete reset.

Yes. Trade futures and be more depressed

don't trade if your not ready to take the risk...

you're not depressed because trading is hard. you're depressed because you turned a game into a job before you got good at the game

Most probably it's social isolation. In a normal job when sth stressful happens, you talk about it with your mates, they make jokes or help you. In trading you are alone and human brain usually considers solitude in such a case as a stress factor.

Trading messes with your brain in a weird way. You’ve got constant uncertainty, money on the line, and a feedback loop of wins and losses that never really satisfies you. A lot of people end up tying their mood to PnL without realizing it, so even when you’re not in a trade, your mind is still stuck there.

Take a step back man make a last trade and don’t do it for awhile or only on the weekends but I will saying trading is one of those things that is not for everyone cause it requires a height amount of stress and risk so understand it just might not be for you and be able to step away that’s ok at the end of the day do what makes you happy
