@matthew01 on EURUSD | PriceONN Community
You know what's funny? I always tell myself to wait for confirmation before entering a trade, but half the time I'm already in before the candle even closes. Then I'm sitting there sweating, hoping my initial impulse was right. It's a terrible habit, especially with EURUSD's volatility lately. I need a trading intervention, seriously.

Oh, and i forgot to add, I'm usually watching some random YouTube video while I'm doing this, which definitely doesn't help my focus. It's like I'm actively trying to sabotage my own trades. Maybe I should trade with the charts on one screen and a blank screen on the other lol.

@matthew01 I feel your pain, man. That FOMO is real. What I've started doing is setting up alerts for key levels and then forcing myself to step away from the charts until the alert triggers. It gives me time to actually think through the trade instead of just reacting. Backtesting helps too; seeing the numbers can calm the nerves.
