Is it just me, or does trading feel way more exhausting lately? I used to enjoy the challenge, but now I’m mentally drained by 11am most days. How do you all avoid burnout when markets are this unpredictable?

I’ve been there. What helped me was pre-setting alerts and walking away until they hit—gave my brain space to reset. Also started limiting myself to 1–2 trades a day and journaling wins/losses to stay grounded.

I limit my number of positions and understand that the ones I do enter are inherently risky gambles. I'm not as emotionally attached to them because I know all it'll take is one tweet or tariff announcement to wipe out my position. I actually find these losses a lot easier to tolerate than my well-researched positions that don't pan out.

The last 20 days were the best days for trading. I would love that to be the norm!

Before you start trading, be clear about your trading goals. Both short-term and long-term goals can help you stay focused and reduce mental fatigue.

I’m seeing lots of posts about really bad losses. If you trade you’re going to lose money - hopefully not all the time, but many positions will be mistakes. But you need a process to find ideas and manage positions. Two books you should read are “The New Trading for a Livinng” and “The Laws of Trading.” Both look at psychology, process, and risk in different ways that can help you work out your own process. The next 18 months will be much harder than the last 18 - time to start learning.
