I've come to the point where I'm forcing myself to take a week off to let the emotions settle. Every trade I've made lately has been garbage. I've been studying 1-2 hours everyday but every trade I've made recently I've overthought and lost because of it. I was making better gains when I was trading more, for lack of a better word "instinctively". Has anyone else had this experience?
Yeah you can burnout i think you might just be tilted
I don't think you can study too much. I used to overthink trades too but it was because I lacked confidence in my skills but after a while when you study enough and know what to look for you become less emotional and more robotic in your process.
@Scott_PaperTrader_legit @Chongette32 Both solid points. I think trying to master too much too fast has played a part in burning me out and losing confidence overall rather than sticking to simple plays I know very well.
@ImBatman Yeah it can if you try to do too much. The hardest thing to master in trading is patience. If you can just focus on the setups you know and wait for them even if it means not trading for a few days. Take small positions and once you have a few green days you'll get your confidence back.
