I trade XAUUSD it is a almost a 24hr asset to trade. But, it is hard for me to sit in the same place and look at the screen for long amount of time. If I force myself to sit their, I can mostly do it for 6-7hrs but the next trading day is not that exciting to do anymore.
Is there a something that day trades like to do to take breaks, maybe lie down for 30-60mins, have some food (some thing that has carbs for energy), do a different activity to fully take your mind off the charts and go back in later.
Any tips to take that stress headache out will help (except from smoking).
Mid Day plan a workout or go for a 20 mins run. This would be the most important suggestion
Listen to music of your interest during trading hours, esp. in Trading Ranges. Most of the time market will be in TRs. U can use this time effectively through music.
It helps u a lot to take care of your mental health to a great extent.
I used to day trade for long periods of time (over 6h a day), but it was unsustainable over the course of weeks and months. Trading for many hours also decreased my focus and made me more vulnerable to mistakes, so that was another reason to stop trading all day.
If you are day trading, maybe shorten the trading hours to sessions to up to 3h a day.
Or if you are swing trading, then maybe increase the timeframe to a daily chart and just ignore the intraday moves.
ps: I'm unsure if I understood correctly. Are you a day trader watching XAUUSD 24h?
I trade XAUUSD daily for 6-7 hours. on 2min timeframe.
