[Maricel2017]

I think it was due to stress brings of trading to all traders, all real traders are focus on this method almost 24hours they monitor the value of crypto and this method treated as their regular job. Even me i am not real trader i feel the stress when the value of coins i have are slowly decreasing also im scared to loss all of my capital.

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

Nice experience you have but I have different opinion. Not healthy because we always ignore our rules and avoid stop loss & take profit area ( greedy ). Only those things become our failure but i'm afraid many people always repeat it again. Have disciplines and believe with our skill is very important, no success with out ignore rules. I hope every one stay focus and disciplines with their rules.

All kind of tradings gives you stress because it involves your hard earned money. Frequent stress can damage your health so it better to take precations before you start to trade. The fear of losing is one of the major reasons of stress so all you have to do is to set aside extra money that you are not afraid to lose. If you are still a newbie, your fear will be greater than the experienced ones so it better to practice tradings first and gain experience.

Yes i  agree that any kind of tradings even if let say it is a real trading could also contribute to us the stress so lets expect that most likely even digital trading like trading cryptocurrency would be more stressful if we couldnt handle it properly. So better to have a concrete time schedule with regards on trading and give yourself some break if you guess you are already exhausted with what you are doing in trading.

Thats why time management is very important for every person. so you have an idea of how much time you need to trade and other activities so that the time in your trade is not too much and bad for your health. make a time management dude. that is very helpful to you

I second this.

I think, most of the jobs that are connected with the money, brings stress. You need to cope with it. Some guys take pills but I do not recommend it. It is easier to calm down yourself, taking everything as it is.

I'm good at time management, dude. Just my health is not good with trading

I think that working on yourself and on your emotions will help you.
Now you just get distracted by the games, but it will not bring you rid of the main problem. You like to trade and you are addicted to this process. It is necessary to turn your dependence into a controlled process, thanks to which you will earn money.
Indeed, in order to be successful in trading, you don't need to bring yourself to such a state. Learn to make a plan. Before you buy a coin, on the basis of the analysis performed, you must determine 3 points for yourself. 1 is the point of purchase of the coin, 2 is the point of sale of the coin, provided that the price rises and 3 is the point of sale of the coin, provided that the price starts to fall. And follow the plan clearly!
Every trader wants to buy a coin at the lowest price and sell at the highest, but the reality is far from our desires. I understand this desire, but it is impossible in reality. Yes, sometimes  luck smile to us and this approach will be successful. But in reality, everything looks different. The trader spends hours or days near the monitor, damages his eyes, constantly worries, hardly sleeps. And maybe he will be lucky and he will really buy a coin at the lowest point. Then this story is gaining momentum when the trader wants to sell at the highest price.
Only no one knows exactly where that lowest point and highest point is. So think whether it makes sense to torture yourself with negative emotions for the sake of illusory hope to earn as much money as possible?
If you don't see the point in being so mock your mind and body, then make the right conclusions.

It depends on your time-management and character. Trading is very stressful and you should keep your emotions. If you trade whole day, it's really unhealthy. But if you have certain timetable, it can be a perfect hobby!

Everything depends on the person doing trade. Those people who are strong in their mindset and the power of determination are stiff, those are successful people. Your time management and patience, these two characters must be exhibited by a trader so that things can run smoothly. Trading isn’t easy task, hence keep these two shrimps alongside.

Some says trading is easy and some says it is harder than stone. You might have heard some other opinion as well but the whole story revolves around this line. Everyone who is willing to trade or invest in this bitcoin world needs to understand some basic rules. This contains a splendid determination and mindset controlling powered along with huge pole of patience.

many people think that trading is not healthy, because it can make stress in a short time. even more so if you just don't realize the price is down. well, therefore, it's better to do it when you're ready to accept the risk.

Indeed, we should be prepared and ready for all risks that we may face when we want to engage in trading, the tension here is not a normal tension, it is a tremendous stress and a mental breakdown, it can even cause heart attacks and discomfort in the body. Especially yesterday and today, some of my friends have actually suffered a heart attack, falling into panic and out of control when they look at the price of bitcoin, if a person does not have enough mental and physical health, does not have a cold head and a strong heart, trading would not be an appropriate field and good for their health

[Fridalucia]

i wake up every morning and check how much my bot has traded.. It's like a habit. But at the beginning I had problems with TradeSanta because I configured my bot wrong... I was so nervous and I think that trading can be dangerous sometimes.

This is an interesting point and most likely you are right, trading is already very stressful as we know but traders make it even harder for themselves because they do not even follow their own rules, I know this is the case because I have done that mistake myself, and when everything goes right then you think of yourself as a genius but when things go wrong, which is most of the time and that is why you have those rules in the first place, you begin to regret your decisions and to doubt your own judgment.

So if we want to make trading easier for ourselves we need to have a very precise strategy about what we want to do in the market and how we're going to accomplish it and even more importantly we need to follow that plan.

therefore the work related to money such as trade will not always experience stability, so we all simply monitor prices so that we can get profits when selling coins that we have and never panic in trading

[izanagi narukami]

Crypto trading mostly volatile so that's why people often got stress on trade.
For example like current situation, the value decrease almost $ 1000 in a day. Who's happy with current situation ?
If the trader can't control his temper and emotion, the trader will be on trouble just like OP case.

Suggestion : trade safety is the first priority !

Life isn't easy. A person always has to sacrifice something to get a result. Not worth much to spoil the health because of the trade in the cryptocurrency market. It is necessary to do everything within the limits of the forces and not to pursue profit.

Some people think that trading is unhealthy due to volatile market, but if you're going to think of long term basis you won't regret dealing with it. Trading is good if you hit your motivations and yet it won't give us a headache once your holdings will successfully gain bigger returns.

[pacman7331]

From my point of view, trading is not unhealthy it all about depends on the person. If you are not disciplined and have no routine of working then it is quite stressful for you Trading is unhealthy when people do this all day long without taking any short break. So in trading business person should be punctual and disciplined.

When you invest something somewhere, don’t you get stressed about loss? Definitive it is. Heiman is not so strong that he doesn’t care until he is so rich. so, don’t let your fear overcome your capability.

[Cliarbikr]

Stress is a catalyst for all diseases. A person with good health always has a good emotional state. If in trading you are not able to turn off emotions, then it is very dangerous for you.

[wxa7115]

I agree with this, it does not make sense to sacrifice your health for money, if you want to be a trader that is fine but you need to understand that is a very difficult activity in which many fail and very few have the talent and the dedication for it and there is nothing to be ashamed if that is the case, the only thing you need to do is to find other ways to make money and since the world is filled with opportunities that should not be a problem for a person with initiative.

The only reason it could be accepted that you trade despite the stress is if you are making a fortune in the markets because you could easily stop trading in a few years and your health will be mostly intact but you will have so much money that it will not make a difference in your health over the long term.

Trading is not unhealthy. Trading is something you do and enjoy at your personal time. Most persons can't trade and they don't have the time to learn it very well before indulging in it. Its not unhealthy for anyone to trade. It only become unhealthy for you if you don't learn the necessary things needed to become a good trader. Do the right thing and you will enjoy it.
