how do i quit stock trading/gambling?, page-38

Mate, set yourself some rules.

1. No HC during the day at work - which means no day trading or refreshing that platform screen.

2. Set yourself clear entry and exit prices, wait for the market to come to you and not chase the market.

3. Make sure you separate your savings accounts (where your pay goes), your credit card, your mortgage account and your trading account - meaning dont use credit card money/ savings / mortgage acc money for trading. Tell yourself you use what you have and if you loose it, it doesnt take your other finances with it. Its important that you also mentally firewall/separate these accounts. Protect yourself against yourself.

4. Find another hobby/interest that doesnt involve trading/gambling/drinking etc etc and find a friend to join you to keep the motivation and not complacent. My partner and i are into fitness and weights training and now im getting a team together to do Tough Mudder.

Been there myself and finally getting my life back slowly and painfully.

Good luck
