Meditation is helpful for stress before trading or after losing trade. I prefer daily meditation. It drastically reduces my stress.

Some people do. I think it’s worth trying it, you certainly lose nothing if you do.

I’m sure meditation would be extremely beneficial.
I have tried but like self hypnosis, I just keep thinking about what is happening and I don’t get into it.
Have you tried smoking ? I find smoking to be a very soothing stress reliever.

I’ve found meditating in the morning and before bed has been a great overall improvement on my general well-being. Id say it would be hard to gauge whether or not it’s helped my trading, but it does help with turning the work switch off at the end of the day.

Yes, that is an effective way of starting with your day. Many traders try different approaches to clear their heads. Meditation seems like a good one.

Forex trading is a stressful experience. That’s the reason why I have made it a habit to go out in the evening and meet my friend after trading for the whole day. It doesn’t only help me calm down but also keeps me healthy as we usually take a walk or play tennis.

It’s true that forex trading is quite stressful. This is the reason why I go out with my friends after every trade that I make. This helps me release stress and focus on the next trades that I will be entering. I have tried meditation in the past but never got successful in it.
