Feeling irritable and tapping randomly on the screen while watching the market? Stop and think—this might not be the market's problem. It's likely that your rhythm has already been thrown off, and your mind is filled with noise.

My simple method—close your phone, pick up a pen, and write.

One stroke at a time, slow down. Breathe in sync with the rhythm, refocus your attention, and steady your hand movements. Don’t think of this as some self-cultivation chicken soup; it’s really just doing one thing: clearing all distractions outside of trading from your mind.

When you persist in writing a page, you'll find yourself calming down. The patience for "waiting for signals" will also return.

Truly skilled traders are never thinking about how to place orders 24/7. On the contrary, their ability lies in—being able to let go at any moment. The market is there every day; missing a wave won't kill you, but impulsively placing a trade might blow up.

Next time you feel restless, first stabilize yourself. Opportunities are never in short supply.
