The Complete Guide to Stop Trading Procrastination – 8 Actions

by | Jun 20, 2024

👋 Hey 

Ever found yourself staring at your trading platform?

Your finger can either be 1 mm away from the buy button


Or feel like it’s the distance of the Great Wall of China.

And you’re still not pressing it.

🎉 Welcome to the Procrastinator’s Club!

Don’t worry—you’re not alone.

Many traders struggle with procrastination.

The good news? It’s totally beatable.

Let’s dive into why we procrastinate and, more importantly, how to crush it and become the trader you’ve always wanted to be.


❓ Why Do We Procrastinate?

đŸ€” Doubt Your Trades?

Doubt is a confidence killer.

You’re doubting yourself.

Your system.

The markets.

Even trading as a whole.

This leads to hesitation
 and missed opportunities.

đŸ—“ïž Skip a Trading Day?

Skipping even one trading day can cost you.

Markets don’t wait.

If you’re not in the game—you can’t score.

Even checking from your phone could make all the difference!

📉 Don’t Monitor Your Results?

If you’re not tracking, you’re guessing.

Are you improving?

Is the market environment helping or hurting you?

Without tracking, you’re flying blind.


đŸ’„ 6 Ways to Beat Trading Procrastination

✅ #1: Choose Your Trading Days

Pick 3–4 specific days to focus on trading.

Avoid unfavourable times (like low volatility Mondays or dead hours in Gold).

Structure = consistency = confidence.

📋 #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!

📊 #3: Track Results on a Specific Day

Pick a review day weekly.

Don’t obsess daily.

Your portfolio’s like your weight—it’ll fluctuate!

Track over time, not minute-by-minute

⏱ #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.

🧠 #5: Self-Talk

Talk yourself into trading—not out of it.

“I’ve got this.”
“I know my system.”
“I’m the boss.”

Say it. Mean it. Do it.

🎁 #6: Reward Yourself

Win or lose—if you followed your strategy, celebrate.

A treat.

A break.

Something fun.

This builds discipline + motivation.

🏁 Final Words

Procrastination is a habit.

But so is discipline.

You now have a toolkit.

So


When are you taking action?

Tomorrow? That’s procrastination.

Today? That’s progress.

Start small. Just start.
