In recent days, I haven't been trading, and I feel unmotivated no matter what I do. The dopamine released from trading is more than that from most things in the world.
Trading and gambling are actually very close; with just one wrong thought, you can go from being a trader to being a gambler. I often stumble here, frequently losing control of my speed, and it's not just once or twice, but countless times.
Moreover, the accelerator pedal is completely in my own hands; no one can help me control the speed. If I press the accelerator too hard, trading turns into gambling.
Not trading makes me feel uncomfortable, and doing short trades leads to frequent trading, with emotions running high and speed out of control.
Let's set a rule for myself: I will trade a maximum of two times a day. Once those two trades are done, I will force myself into a cooling-off period. I don't know if I can stick to this rule, but I'll do my best.
