【Questioner】

Do you think rest breaks are necessary in trading?

I think they’re fine for part-time traders

But for full-time traders, I feel it leads to missed opportunities

【Answer】

I believe rest breaks are necessary

This also depends on the trading method

In trend-following with initial trend formation, the element of resting is relatively minimal

Because you’re basically monitoring while following the trend

The element of rest is strongest in contrarian strategies

Nanding (averaging down) in contrarian trades requires careful judgment on when to cut losses if a trend emerges

If the trend continues after that

Then it’s better to keep taking breaks smoothly

Where you rest depends on your trading method, so it’s not something you can say universally

However, essentially taking breaks helps your mindset endure

Discretionary trading is the basic technique to generate profits, so

I think incorporating breaks will improve your trading and sharpen your skills
