How to Recharge Yourself After a Trading Day
Trading is not for the faint of heart.
It’s an emotional, mental, and even physical rollercoaster that can leave us feeling like overcooked spaghetti at the end of the day.
However, this is super important.
If you don’t learn to recharge yourself, you’re going to burn out. And worse, give up.
That’s why you need to focus and harness on your mental state.
Protect it, nurture it, invest in it.
And yes, that means stepping away from the screens and prioritizing self-care.
Here are 5 MATI-approved, psychology-backed ways to recharge yourself after a trading day, without feeling guilty about it.
🚶 Go For a Walk or Exercise After a Trading Day
Ever noticed how a good walk can clear the mind better than any therapist?
That’s no accident.
Exercise, even just 20 minutes, helps release those endorphins.
It burns off the cortisol (stress hormone) that builds up while you’re watching your P&L swing.
So do yourself a favour.
Enjoy a gym session, a walk in nature, or just move your body a bit.
It’s the cheapest, fastest trading therapy you’ll ever find.
🧘 Meditate or Self-Hypnosis Before Bed – Be a Zen-Master
You need to stop replaying trades when you go to sleep!
The market will be ready for your tomorrow and it will be a CLEAN slate – as always.
Replace that mind-numbing loop with meditation or self-hypnosis.
This helps decompress your brain and prepares you for quality sleep (more on that in a minute).
😴 Get Quality Sleep
Sleep isn’t a luxury—it’s a trading weapon.
Poor sleep = Poor decisions.
Good sleep = Laser focus and rational thinking.
I don’t care if you nailed the best setup of your life today.
If you don’t protect your sleep, you’re compromising tomorrow’s performance.
Stick to a routine.
Keep your room cold and dark.
📚 Read Trading Psychology (E.g. Brett Steenbarger or MATI Trader)
Reading trading psychology keeps your brain sharp and your mindset warrior-ready.
Brett Steenbarger, Mark Douglas, or yes—yours truly, MATI Trader.
Fuel your brain with golden mental habits.
🍿 Enjoy Netflix, Have Sex or Whatever You Enjoy
This is your permission slip to… just enjoy life.
Because guess what?
Life is more than charts and candlesticks.
Watch your favorite show.
Connect with your partner.
Cook. Sing. Paint. Play video games.
When you enjoy life, you come back to the markets lighter, sharper, and more balanced.
Never feel guilty for it.
Conclusion: Recharge Like a Pro, Trade Like a Warrior
At the end of the day, trading isn’t just about technicals or fundamentals.
It’s about mastering yourself.
And recharging is part of your trading plan.
Not a distraction from it.
So don’t wait until burnout taps you on the shoulder.
Integrate these practices NOW and watch how your trading transforms.
Because remember…
“A trader who honours their mind and body becomes their own best strategy.”
