Why trading is unhealthy?

[33bitcoin]

I always make sure to have a good posture while on the computer and take constant breaks.  Constant screen staring when trading can take a real tole on your health.  I also take a few days per week off and go more outdoor activities.

Trading is unhealthy because while we want to make a trade we have to work mentally and also we should work by our readiness. In this case it can create pressure on our mind as well as brain, so it is unhealthy.

I think, some people, when they start trading, realize that they suffer from bipolar. Really, they are happy like kids during the moments when they earn and get fast into depression when losing.

That is an interesting view, never heard of such conclusion before but still it could be true. But I think that wheb in trading for a long time people start to suffer from consequences of stress. When you are exposed to stress for to long your body starts to feel the consequences and that might leave traces on your health. That is why is very important to find the right balance.

Finding the balance from work and life is what most of the people need to do. They should create a time management plan where there is already plan on what time and what are the things that they will do to that certain time. This time management plan will help them to balance and organized things for them so they will not forget any of their task for the day.

Trading is an instrument and can give actually a good profit to anyone,  also can wreck your capital too in the end if you will be neglectful.
Now, according to the topic here trading is unhealthy? yes! it will be unhealthy if you are in the front of your monitor within 24 or 12 hours, because of its radiation even for the mobile phone and laptop, but if you are doing it every 5 hours I think that's fine.

of course trading isn’t that really healthy at all but just some tips if your a trader using phone to check it’s value is the best way to prevent having in front of monitor in 12 to 24 hours.

This is very funny topic, I started to laugh right after the first sentence:

The first problem you can have is - eyes problems.

What kind of problem can you have if you work on some farm, or some field, or you are digging wholes? Every job have some risks, potential health problems, you need to find a way to protect yourself somehow. Maybe by this topic trading is unhealthy, but for sure its less unhealthy than some other jobs you can do to make some money for yourself and your family.

Trading is not really unhealthy, what it can be unhealthy are the attitudes that some people have towards it, however it is true that you may get some medical issues if you trade too much, like problems with your eyesight, but all occupations are going to have some sickness associated with them due to their nature but those can be easily solved by just taking care of your body.

This is really true we cannot blame trading for an unhealthy lifestyle that a person is going through, it is about your trading time management, trading is really good that can help is get out of all financial crises, but it only need to have proper knowledge about and manage your time properly, spare time to explore the market and get knowledge about.

The stress, the pressure, the long periods of focus, the anxiety, depressions can all *uck with your health. That's why a true traders learns to control their emotions and taking trades are like a walk in the park as your eye forms and your confidence in your trading system stabilises. Finally, trading is not everybody. In fact a very select group of people can actually make a living from trading.

Most jobs in our modern world have this kind of stress. Our bodies aren't adapted to live in these modern times, we need constant movement and sunlight for vitamin D.  Sometimes I wish I could just leave itall behind and go live in nature.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Many people think that trading is like putting an order and later we see that order got filled and we got profit. This approach will not give you any profit.

That isn't true, and I know this because I've traded just like this with stop loss orders.  It takes some discipline to be patient and even a little dispassionate about the trade but it can and does work.  But I do understand why you wrote that.  Most traders I think cannot keep their eyes off the trading screen once a buy order is placed.

That's why a true traders learns to control their emotions

Nailed it. But if trading is causing all of the emotional turmoil these traders posting in this thread are experiencing, maybe it isn't the right activity for them.  Anything that causes serious health issues for you just isn't good to keep doing, and it is for sure not the right way to make money.  There are myriad other ways to make a living, even with crypto.

Have you ever wondered that trading can be bad for your health?

The first problem you can have is - eyes problems. Spending more time in front of your computer can be harmful to your eyes.
The second - stress. Stress can cause many problems from high blood pressure to depression.

Here is my story...

This summer I went to a doctor with some health problems - I had an awful headache. Just to make picture clear - my headache was with me for 15-20 hours per day. So we did some tests showed that I had extremely high blood pressure.
“That’s odd” - I thought. I eat healthy food and I do sports.

I was confused. But the doctor said that it can happen because of stress. So I went to a psychologist to deal with this issue. We were talking about my life and interests. And I told her I trade… I believe I don’t need to continue this story lol

Since I trade a lot (I do. I could even tell this is an addiction). The doctor suggested me not to trade for about a week. That was impossible for me, but I tried. It was hard. It was more than hard. But in a couple of weeks, my headache disappeared.

I still trade but not as much as I used to. Now I practice blockchain games because it’s less stressful. Do I feel myself better? Yes. In July it was so painful so I thought that I will die. Now I don’t feel pain at all.

Conclusion:

I know it’s all individual. Some people trade days and night and they feel pretty good. I just told you my story with my experience. I don’t pursue anyone to stop trading. It’s just important for me to warn some people who can have the same problems.


UPD #1

I've noticed a lot of questions about blockchain games. Here is my games list on product hunt https://www.producthunt.com/@house_lama/collections/blockchain-games

UPD #2

There is a good blockchain shooter War Field. it’s 100% not scam so I can send it here. you can read details about this game here (I don’t send direct link to their website not to make them advertisement) https://gameunculus.io/blog/96

I don't really think trading makes the tired traders like you say. When you really like trading, you will definitely feel happy for a day. We should get used to this job and don't let it stress us.

Well, the different emotions and instability happen is a very normal thing, the problem here is our health, as you say we will need to face the computer for many hours, even many days, and this habit is really not good. In addition, our psychology is the main victim in trading, anxiety, fear and boredom when waiting, day by day, it will make us very easy to lose control, always feel pressure and tired, but we can only accept these things when we are a trader, this is the price when we want to make money

Trading is unhealthy only if the trader feel the losses. Keeping hard feeling of failures is not good for the body. This will surely bring stress that will eventually results to lost of appetite. Trading is accompanied by high risk. High risk most likely brings anxiety especially for those times of continuous downs. Trading is a matter of mind and body preparedness.

Stress controlling is one of much needed requirements when you are doing crypto trading as your daily jo because you are not going out too often,you will just in a closed surrounding and starring at the computer for too long which can cause lot of mental issues later.

The first problem you can have is - eyes problems. Spending more time in front of your computer can be harmful to your eyes.

I believe that every job has its associated problem. A police man can be killed by an armed robber bullet, a pilot dies most times if there is a crashed. So protect your eyes. Meet an eye doctor for that.

[xvids]

True I also agree with you , But it isn't just trading there are also lot's of things that is unhealthy.
Remember that it is not just trading that would cause us stress and harm our eyes everything could cause stress to us.
I think every job is stressful and could harm our health we just need to find what would be compatible for us.

My main job is spending more of my nerves than trading on the exchange. I treat trading on the exchange more as a hobby,where I am ready to win and ready to lose. I'm only risking my money and I'm ready for it. On the main work I risk money of firm, clients and as a result and the means. There I have no right to make a mistake.

[TribalBob]

if I become you, I will look for the best way to trade,
because what I know, trading is not difficult, and we also don't need to see a computer all day.
if we can read the chart and estimate market movements, then we only see charts only once a day and no more than 1 hour,
this is only my experience,
