How to Manage Daily Trading Anxiety


So you are into you’re trade and you are watching it go up and down during the day.  The best thing to do is set your chart to the 5 minute chart and look at it periodically while you go about your day.  If you watch the minute chart you will get freaked out every time you see a bearish candlestick.  You can also check the 15 minute, 30 minute and 60 minute charts to see where your moving averages are lining up and do you see another technical set up forming.  

Also, do not panic if you see the candlestick going below a line of support or a moving average.  If the trend is strong and your indicators are right the price will go back above those support lines and push higher.  However, don’t wait around too long if the set up wasn’t that strong to begin with.  If the market has been pulling price down consistently that may be your cue to take profits or exit the trade to prevent losses.
