I agree, trading without stress sounds utopian tbh. It's okay, take a break, drink some water, breathe some air. I always remind myself I'm not being rushed by anyone, everything's under my control. But when things get overwhelming (and they do), I use my VIHO Supercharge [/url] and I get back to trading :)

Stress and anxiety is not just inevitable but I also think is important. It can help you not get too overconfident and keep you grounded. So instead of trying to do the impossible and completely root out your stress/anxiety I think focusing on emotional regulation might be better!

I am only stressed when I am losing. In order to diminish the stress I am focusing on winning deal.

Stress and anxiety are part of trading, but they don’t have to control you. They’re often signs that you care about the outcome, which is natural when money is on the line. What’s helped me is shifting focus from trying to avoid stress to managing it effectively:
Have a Plan: A solid trading plan reduces uncertainty. Knowing your entry, exit, and risk limits ahead of time can prevent emotional decision-making.
Risk Management: Never risk more than you can afford to lose. Keeping risk manageable allows you to trade with a clear head.
Practice Emotional Regulation: Techniques like deep breathing, mindfulness, or even taking breaks when overwhelmed help keep emotions in check.
Set Realistic Goals: Don’t aim for perfection; even the best traders lose. Focus on consistent improvement rather than unrealistic expectations.
Over time, I’ve found stress becomes less overwhelming as I stick to these practices. Trading isn’t just about numbers; it’s also about mastering yourself.

I just wanted to share that trading can be super stressfull, especially when the market’s moving fast or when losses hit—it can really bring on some anxiety. But I think having a plan and taking breaks can help clear your mind and keep you focued. Tools like algo trading copiers can really cut down on the stress by handling some of the work for you.
At the end of the day, it’s all about staying motivated, growing those profits, and reaching success.

It is normal to have stress during trading, but it is very important to control it. Fear and greed can destroy you.
Using predetermined patterns and planning for different market conditions can save you.
Before starting to trade, backtest the strategy to be comfortable in the real market and watch.
Understanding these components helps traders choose the right strategy and make informed decisions about possible future moves.
You can take a backtest from 'TW Volume Signal Pro' before using it and enjoy the results.

But you have to find a solution for these mental states to be successful in the market.
In my opinion, along with continuous training and finding a personal strategy, you should also use the capabilities and successful results of others.

Trading-related stress can be overwhelming at times, but I’ve found a few strategies that help me stay grounded. My go-to method is stepping away from the charts and taking a moment to reset. A quick workout, a walk outside, or even just practicing deep breathing helps me clear my mind and refocus.
Stay consistent, keep it simple, and let discipline shape success

I know stress and anxiety can make it tough to stay motivated, but it's okay to take small steps. Just breathe, be kind to yourself, and remember, even small progress is still progress.

Stress and anxiety are part of the trading experience, but they don’t define it. Instead of viewing them as obstacles, I’ve come to see them as signals that something needs attention, whether it’s a strategy adjustment, better preparation, or even just stepping back for a moment. Managing stress isn’t about avoiding it entirely but learning to channel it into productive actions.
Techniques like sticking to a solid trading plan, managing risk meticulously, and incorporating mindfulness have helped me stay grounded. Trading is as much a mental game as it is technical; the key lies in balance and self-awareness.

The volumes should be proportional to your capital and principled risk management.

How do you personally deal with trading-related stress? What is your go-to method?
Also, what is your main motivation source for trading?
but blindly follow self love affirmations to keep myself motivated
