Stress and Trading

Expect every trade to be a looser, while strictly following your pre-determined rules.
Stress is a fear of loss and uncertainty, if you trick your mind by "expecting" a loss, it has nothing to stress about.
Better yet, learn to code and automate your trading technique

Are you grinding your teeth while sleeping? Problem with the "trader nap" is that you grind to release stress--all that tension in your jaw has to go somewhere, and jaw muscles are the strongest in the body.

I cracked a tooth last year... $2500 crown. Ask your dentist next cleaning; a good dentist would mention it and recommend a night guard.

Stretch and loosen your jaw before a nap and going to sleep at night.

btw, I wanted a gold tooth, but my dentist asked if I was planning on becoming a rapper, so I ended up with cubic zirconia. I still kinda want it; if this crown falls out I'm getting it.

Something to keep in mind about grinding your teeth.

According to my dental hygienist, long-term grinding causes micro-movements in your teeth, which allows bacteria to work their way down below the gum line and into your jawbone. Left untreated, those bacteria will slowing eat your jawbone away. Lose more than 40% of your jawbone and you'll lose your teeth, as well.

You stressed because the market is NOT going your way! My advice for you is to work on your stock entry point. You will feel much better!!

And you don't need a fancy mouth guard sold by a dentist either. Wear an inexpensive sports mouth guard like
on your upper jaw while sleeping, and you won't grind your teeth again. They help prevent snoring too.

Thank you. I had one made by a dentist ($400) and tried an off-the-shelf model from CVS ($40).
