Want to understand markets over the long haul? Here's the real talk—disconnect from the screens. Grab food, get some sleep, live your life. Seriously, chart-watching becomes an addiction that clouds judgment.

The trick is having a game plan before you enter any position. Map out your entry, exit, and key levels. Once you're in, stick to the plan and let it breathe. Don't second-guess every tick. If you've done the homework upfront, the noise on the chart means nothing.

This is where most traders fail. They enter based on emotion, then panic every five minutes watching the candles move. Build discipline first, execute second. The pattern plays out regardless of how anxious you feel watching it.
