😮💨"I’m Spending So Much Time Trading… But I’m Still Not Winning." Here's How To Fix It! 💯
That was me not too long ago—glued to the screen for hours, chasing charts, entering trades just because I felt like I had to.
But here’s what I realized the hard way:
The more I traded, the more I lost.
It wasn’t that I lacked skill.
It was that I was overtrading—emotionally drained, jumping in without purpose, thinking more screen time meant better results.
Here’s What Changed Everything for Me:
✔️ I started trading only 2-3 hours a day, mainly during the New York session (8:30 AM - 12 PM EST) and sometimes the London session (3 AM - 7 AM EST).
✔️ I stopped chasing every candle and began planning every trade like a sniper.
✔️ I gave myself 30 minutes in the morning to mark key levels, set alerts, and visualize the setup before even clicking anything.
✔️ After trading, I take a full 20 minutes to journal — what worked, what didn’t, and how I felt during it all.
✔️ And most importantly? I stopped forcing it.
Some days, I don’t take a single trade—and that’s okay. Because discipline pays me more than FOMO ever did.
If You're in the Same Boat:
Please don’t burn out chasing candles.
Set a routine. Respect your energy. Trade like you mean it, not like you need it.
You don’t need more trades. You need better ones.
Less time. More clarity. Stronger wins.
That’s how you evolve..
