How does day trading affect your health?

Yes, but the problem is that it cannot be sustained indefinitely, because it leads to exhaustion and eventual mulfunction. An adrenalin burst can be factored in for a short period of time, but not indefinitely and every day and every week. Trading is not like tennis. A game of tennis does not last that long, whereas trading, properly conducted, can go on for hours, all morning, and all afternoon, and all evening, and late into the night, by choice rather than necessity.

It is far more convenient and comfortable to preserve a mindstate which balances being totally alert and at the same time being totally relaxed, and in which the ability to respond, in a nanosecond if necessary, is not impaired.

Canadian, banned after only 6 posts! Way to go matey! Obviously stressed out!

associated with a group (multiple nics) of serial spammers although the posts under Canadian were innocuous enough.

Right.

I think it was stressful keeping track of the number of identities he was posting under. He actually used two in the same thread (trading hours) --- bad form.

I find this stress-test helps to tell if you are in the right frame of mind to trade.
If I fail the test, I take the day off.
