Quick takeaway 🎯Panic fades once you replace knee-jerk reactions with a repeatable process: curate your news flow, anchor every headline to your personal trading plan, and hard-code risk controls that leave emotion no room to decide.A step-by-step “panic shield”Step What to do Why it works1️⃣ Curate the firehose Pick ≤ 3 trusted news feeds (e.g., exchange notices, one macro source, one analyst you respect). Check them at fixed times—never during active trades. Limits dopamine spikes from endless scrolling and keeps inputs consistent.2️⃣ Tag & bin As each headline arrives, label it “Actionable,” “Monitor,” or “Noise.” Only “Actionable” items may trigger trades. Forces a 3-second pause that activates the logical brain before you click “sell.”3️⃣ Re-read your playbook Keep a one-page doc: time horizon, max loss per trade, position size formula, exit rules. Glance at it before placing any order. Re-anchors you to pre-committed logic rather than fresh anxiety.4️⃣ Automate the brakes Use stop-losses, trailing stops, or conditional orders so the platform—not your nerves—executes exits. Removes will-I/won’t-I hesitation when volatility spikes.5️⃣ Track feelings like data Log each trade plus the emotion you felt (1-10). Review weekly; if “fear” > 7 correlates with poor outcomes, adjust triggers. Turns emotion into a metric you can optimize, not a mystery.6️⃣ Physical reset 5-minute box breathing, brief walk, or quick stretch when pulse races. Lowers cortisol and restores prefrontal-cortex function for better decisions.Put it in practice 🌱Build your one-pager tonight—don’t wait for the next headline storm.Set calendar alerts at two fixed slots daily for news review.Install stop-orders on any position wider than one day.Commit to a 30-second pause + “Tag & bin” every time Twitter/X or Telegram pings.Within a week you’ll notice fewer impulsive clicks and clearer thinking—even when feeds scream “crash” and “moon” at the same time.#MarketSentimentToday
