    Does anyone else feel sleepy while trading?

    Oh no, I'm so sorry. :( I suppose you have also tried the neurotransmitter, GABA? It is often depleted under stress, and it's hard for the brain to shut down and sleep without it. My naturopath taught me this during a brief bout of insomnia, and it worked like a charm. B Vitamins? 5-HTP? If...

    Does anyone else feel sleepy while trading?

    That sounds rough. :/ Have you tried using a UV lamp during the daytime, or making sure you get plenty of sunshine during the day, and then at night, careful to avoid any light in the blue spectrum (which is what white light has a lot of)?

    Does anyone else feel sleepy while trading?

    Not Happy with TransAct Futures

    Hi everyone, $35 Fees Normal? Okay, so I'm wondering if these $35 fees are normal for brokerages to charge people? I realize I shouldn't have left my money sitting there, but I didn't have much there, and it's a hassle signing up for a new account if I decided to trade again. Charging $35 every...
