Why trading is unhealthy?

[omonuyak]

I thought this post was about being unhealthy financially. Youre 100% right on how trading is being unhealthy physically. The effect is like playing video games for hours. It will hurt your eyes, head and even your back. Stress also contributes a lot on being unhealthy. But its better that playing video games because you can earn more with this. Try eating more healthy foods to counter it.

I think op was not talking about the video games but he was referring to the emotional infect of traders.  Trading is about emotions because it entails risk and some people have gotten high blood pressure because the position they open is going against them.  Cryptocurrencies market is not doing too well in terms of volatility and that is what is affecting people emotionally.

The creator of this thread might be thinking of the hard times to trade because of the slump. He's thinking this is unhealthy because of the stress brought by losses. I also believe that ventures that give you cost rather than profit will surely make you sick. Have time to rest by staying away from cryptocurrency for the meantime.

Trading is unhealthy if you're not having profits, instead a lot of losing your capital to failed trading. Emotions are part of trading, negative emotions are not good just like stress caused by losing your money. If you're experiencing this, maybe it's time to have a break. You can look back and have time to learn more about trading and cryptocurrency.

Stress do happen when trading and is better to time your trade well and maybe take some fresh air to outside your home it does help Your Stress if too much can actually cause you some losses too

trading will really make you a crazy person if you don't regulate yourself. sometimes it will not make you sleep if you are following for a certain movement. just remember, what will you do with your money earned from this trading if you are unable to live a healthy life? just think about it.

it will drive people crazy when you bet on all the possessions you have and lose. well, that is the risk of trading. making people stressful when the price goes down, and we have to be careful in choosing where we exchange, because many of those places have fake volumes.

Yes, the main problem is for the eyes, that is why some people use some bots for trading i think. Anyway for other problem, i suggest never, ever invest all your money on crypto or in trading, always you should make an economy if possible, and never trade fast, and think twice before do trading.

But trading isnt the one that can make a people stress , depress , sad , or any other negative feelings etc.   There are gambling , video games ,  working outside , playing sports , blah blah blah .

Almost every activies can be a factor to trigger our bad side  of emotions but theres nothing to worry because all we need a self decipline and well balanced lifestyle so that we can divert our minds onto something that can make us happy  .

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

Every profession has it's own pros and cons. If you are able to extract a sound amount of profit and if you are enjoying it then cons do not matter. There is no profession without cons. So, focusing on pros is a good thing to do.

Who in their right might would invest all their money in trading anyway? That kind of gambling isn't worth it. You'll feel the difference when you trade with money you can afford to lose and when you trade with pressure to make successful trades.

The most problem for every traders currently is not on their bodies and i'm pretty sure they were can maintain their bodies conditions and still healthy but since we were facing downtrend almost a year then i think we have a problem with our mental conditions that through these situations will took good mentally to do so and i'm sure too some of us already stress because thinking of our loss

[kkaroul4]

because now the market is still red and it is still difficult to get profits or results, therefore trade is now unhealthy and many traders choose to hold back rather than sell in the near future

[stefany101]

Sometimes, I wonder what would be the effect of too much focus trading in an individual person's health. A person usually sacrifice his/her sleep just to monitor his/her trading activities or what's happening on it's tokens or coins. In this way, I prefer to do long term investments or trading so that I can have some rest and manage some time to do other choirs in life.

Yeah, our psychology is really unstable from last year until now because exactly as you said, we were tired and panicked when we faced the collapse of the market, the levels record low prices, long-term red waves, all made our psychology always in crisis and anxious. Especially for traders, this market has made their psychological pressure at an alarming level, although our body is probably still healthy but if these instabilities continue, even the market falls sharply, heart attacks and headaches will come, trading at this time is really unhealthy physically and mentally

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.

we know that in trading, price changes can change your emotional feelings, it can be happy or angry, panic and so on.
if you're not good at controlling your emotions, of course it's not good for your health mate.

Trading is really too stressful. Many guys that are involved in this business, have to take the so-called happy pills. It is not so easy to fight with the stress, and sometimes, only medicines can help.

It’s good choice for them to hold because it takes time to see your money growing and being impatient will suffer you.  Trading is not harmful as it’s always a source to make money but those who leave it in the way it harms themselves and later on they say trading has been unhealthy for them. So trade for long term without any fear of lose.

How does this Blockchain games work? Is it like an investment that you play around with and at the end you get like double of your investment or at least something close to that? Even with blockchain game you will still be in front of your screen. I have thought about this Blockchain games but I don’t know how reliable they are going to be and whether they are going to give me what I really want. Wish I could get a reliable platform to invest my money and take a break for a while.

For me why trading is unhealthy because there are such many problems to do, for overnight that they always need to trade to not lost on their invested funds on the market.

Obviously, it's very stressful for anyone. You need to give it your full attention because it can move upward or downward anytime. Whenever you have to complete your selling point or vice versa, you are going to look at your monitor and hold the mouse like a sniper waiting for your target to arrive.

Each hard job can be called unhealthy, especially when it is emotionally stressful. Traders worry much about the market, they keep an eye on the cryptocurrencies rates, they do not sleep well when some negative (and even positive) crypto events happen.

at least you can limit time so you don't always face the monitor screen all the time and make your trade as a long-term trade, so you don't always monitor market price movements at any time. High levels of stress are always felt by traders in this field, especially seeing the recent market price movements show no signs of drastic improvement, but this can certainly be avoided if we can react calmly

This is our risk in trading, we must be able to do a good time management. Because every time will be very important in trading. The decisions we make will determine the results we will get. Maximize your time and maintain your health, the more you can take care of your health, you have more time to be able to make the most appropriate decisions.
