I try to remain positive in between and not let carried away by vague thoughts. Focus is important for me.

It is important not to get swayed by emotions/thoughts.

In my free time, I try to study additional information and understand what is happening in the market.

I wait and I check my screen regularly. When I am not trading I do pretty much everything else.

I didn't know where to ask this question so I put it here in the Psychology topic. Anyhoooo, if you're a discretionary day-trader or at least semi-discretionary, what do you do once you're in a position? Are you glued to the screen waiting for a signal to add/liquidate to your position? do you walk out of the room and check up on the position every once in a while? Turn on music/youtube/movie and keep one eye on the charts... Or do you not have to worry about it because you set your profit target/stops and just wait for one of them to get hit?

hey, why don't we just expand it a bit?

Keep myself motivated and do not let emotions come into my way. Side by side, I keep on researching what is going on in the market.
