There are some times when you get bored while trading. Sometimes people have a habbit of listening music while working.
I like to hear classical music while trading. It creates peace and calmness in mind. It has the ability to remove most the frustration.

No way man how can you get bored while forex trading. Whenever I open a trade, my heart beats with every pip. Its hard to do anything else while forex trading. I know its wrong to be so much involved emotionally in trading and I am trying to get rid of this thing. But currently it is impossible for me to do anything else during forex trading. You r brave Sasha.

Maybe views of other users help me change my mind. But lets see what others say

Trading is a discipline.

I invested very little amount in forex and thats why no tension. I like to see anime or some action movie while trading. I open a position with TP and SL points and then forget it. I minimize or close the trading window and start watching something else. Because after you open a trade, you cannot reverse it. Set your TP and SL points and thats all. If you keep watching it, it will increase and decrease your bloodpressure. So watch something better.

Uniquetrader, it mostly depends on how you feel and how much you care about the money you invested. When you invest more money than you can actually loose then this thing happens. Lower money means lower emotional involvement and high investment means higher involvement. Lower involvement leads to boring situation and high involvement will never let you bore.

Its my opinion may be there are other factors too.

Thats why I have invested very little amount and I am not at all relying on my forex income. Its just fun and I take it as fun. I am not a professional trader and I dont plan to. Maybe in future I invest money with some experienced trader or I might use fxstat auto trading service. Because traders using autotrade service here have never reported any problem and are satisfied.

I tend to chat with other traders online and input some stuff on here.

Unfortunately, I have a day job, so I guess I spend most of my time working while my trades are working or dying.

When I'm actively trading, I mean actrually checking the charts and placing orders, that's all I do. I don't want to be distracted at that time.
