Real talk: staring at charts 24/7 is how you get rekt mentally before the market even touches you.
Chart addiction = emotional trading = exit liquidity. You're not gaining edge by refreshing Birdeye every 30 seconds.
What actually works:
- Set alerts at key levels, walk away
- Touch grass (literally)
- Build something, read CT threads, study on-chain data when market's closed
- Gym/run kills the dopamine loop
The best traders I know check positions 2-3x a day max. They have a thesis, size accordingly, and let it play out. Everything else is just cortisol farming.
If you can't look away, your position size is too big or you don't trust your own conviction. Fix that first.
