Coffee and Trading....

E

ER9

Sure this has been asked before but do you find that coffee affects your trading in a negative or posative way? i notice when i have a strong cup of coffee while trading i seem more impatient and not as level headed....seems i make more mistakes....

curious if anyone has had a similar experience?
 
i work at a coffee shop and the coffee shops these days really make their coffee strong. a little caffeine is a good stimulant for a little bit of time then you come down. remember the "come down" part.
 
Drink only Italian Expresso. Only like in Italy, very small cups.
Not like in most of the rest of the world with their imitation Expresso's in cups & quantities hugely too large by Italian standards.

The choice of critics.
 
thanks for the link thunderdog....a shame that post was ruined by a bunch of adolescent a'holes......one poster mentioned that some caffeine possibly enhances metabolism and awareness and that too much may cause the opposite......interesting.
 
I find that a cup of coffee can get me too jittery for a while, then I hit a low. But for some reason a latte with some shots of espresso makes me more alert without the highs and lows. Maybe the milk slows the absorption of the caffeine...

“Put simply, our blood sugar control is impaired when the first thing our bodies come into contact with is coffee especially after a night of disrupted sleep. We might improve this by eating first and then drinking coffee later if we feel we still feel need it. Knowing this can have important health benefits for us all.” https://scitechdaily.com/scientists...-coffee-after-breakfast-not-before-heres-why/
 
Speaking of blood sugar: If you start feeling groggy, like you can't keep your eyes open, that could indicate a blood sugar spike. Once that happens, consuming more caffeine usually won't perk you up enough to overcome the sluggishness.
