[Jarky’s/Yaquies?] For the Gold 1-minute chart, why both being tense or relaxed dulls judgment in front of the arrows

When you head toward a one-minute gold chart, there are days when your heart pounds and days when you just gaze at it for no particular reason. On both days, the moment an arrow appears, your judgment tends to feel a bit awkward.

In psychology, there is the Yerkes-Dodson law. It states that performance increases with arousal only up to a moderate level; both too little and too much arousal reduce performance, and a moderate level helps you perform best.

There is an optimal level of arousal

Gold moves quickly, so it can be a stock that raises your excitement easily. For example, in scenes with several large bullish candles, you may become overexcited and place orders without confirming. You might forget to set a stop-loss level or mistype your lot size — this often happens in such times.

Conversely, when price movement slows, you can become careless. You may miss arrows while daydreaming or enter in unfamiliar situations as a way to relieve boredom. Even if the move is in the opposite direction, the underlying issue is the same: your judgment slows.

How to tell apart tense days from relaxed days

First, noticing which side you’re on makes it easier. Rather than trying to fix your state with sheer will, it’s easier to decide the signs in advance so you can keep going.

When you’re tense, reduce confirmations to lessen mental load. When you’re relaxed, shorten your trading time and focus only within a tight, concentrated window. Having a mechanism to return to balance, no matter your state, reduces day-to-day judgment swings.
