The Boredom Stage of Trading - Why Most Traders Quit Here
Good morning, all, thank you all for coming today.
Today we will be looking into the Boredom Phase of trading, and why most new traders quit because of it. Lets begin.
What Is the Boredom stage during Trading?
Boredom in trading is the stage where the excitement goes away, but the results have not arrived yet.
You are no longer a beginner filled with hype, joy and excitement.

There are less trades, fewer emotional highs, and long stages of patiently waiting.
This is where trading begins to feel boring , and for many traders, boredom feels like failure, it feels like they are failing since they are not doing anything.
This phase is not a sign you are doing something wrong it is a sign you are doing something right .
