The Complete Guide to Stop Trading Procrastination – 8 Actions
đ HeyÂ
Ever found yourself staring at your trading platform?
Your finger can either be 1 mm away from the buy buttonâŠ
Or feel like itâs the distance of the Great Wall of China.
And youâre still not pressing it.
đ Welcome to the Procrastinatorâs Club!
Donât worryâyouâre not alone.
Many traders struggle with procrastination.
The good news? Itâs totally beatable.
Letâs dive into why we procrastinate and, more importantly, how to crush it and become the trader youâve always wanted to be.
â Why Do We Procrastinate?
đ€ Doubt Your Trades?
Doubt is a confidence killer.
Youâre doubting yourself.
Your system.
The markets.
Even trading as a whole.
This leads to hesitation⊠and missed opportunities.
đïž Skip a Trading Day?
Skipping even one trading day can cost you.
Markets donât wait.
If youâre not in the gameâyou canât score.
Even checking from your phone could make all the difference!
đ Donât Monitor Your Results?
If youâre not tracking, youâre guessing.
Are you improving?
Is the market environment helping or hurting you?
Without tracking, youâre flying blind.
đ„ 6 Ways to Beat Trading Procrastination
â #1: Choose Your Trading Days
Pick 3â4 specific days to focus on trading.
Avoid unfavourable times (like low volatility Mondays or dead hours in Gold).
Structure = consistency = confidence.
đ #2: Set Smaller Tasks
Break your workload into bite-size pieces.
One day: analyse EUR/USD.
Next day: track performance.
Next day: update journal.
Small wins add up!
đ #3: Track Results on a Specific Day
Pick a review day weekly.
Donât obsess daily.
Your portfolioâs like your weightâitâll fluctuate!
Track over time, not minute-by-minute
â±ïž #4: Set a Timer
Got 1 hour? Or just 15 minutes?
Set a timer, remove distractions, and lock in.
Even a focused short session can yield powerful results.
đ§ #5: Self-Talk
Talk yourself into tradingânot out of it.
âIâve got this.â
âI know my system.â
âIâm the boss.â
Say it. Mean it. Do it.
đ #6: Reward Yourself
Win or loseâif you followed your strategy, celebrate.
A treat.
A break.
Something fun.
This builds discipline + motivation.
đ Final Words
Procrastination is a habit.
But so is discipline.
You now have a toolkit.
SoâŠ
When are you taking action?
Tomorrow? Thatâs procrastination.
Today? Thatâs progress.
Start small. Just start.
