Refreshing your P&L every thirty seconds does nothing for the trade. It just feeds a loop that pulls your attention off the chart and onto the money.<\/p>\n

The number is a result. Your job is the process that makes it. A short trading meditation is how you get your attention back where it belongs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Why you cannot stop looking<\/h3>\n

Checking the P&L gives a tiny hit either way. Green feels good, red makes you look again to see if it changed. Both train the habit.<\/p>\n

The problem is that watching the number does not improve the decision. It only raises your arousal and makes you more reactive.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

WATCHING IT CHANGES NOTHING<\/span><\/p>\n

The number moves whether you stare at it or not, and staring only makes you reactive.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
