When day trading crypto what do you guys do to not get bored. My trading strategy involves volatility and using high leverage so I can't just leave my positions until the next day. Sometimes the markets aren't volatile enough and it takes hours for me to see a profit. Today I have been holding a position for 6 hours and hardly leaving my PC. In the past I have tried everything from jerking off to playing games but I have missed opportunities to increase my margins to avoid liquidation, so I kind of have to have some focus at the same time. Anyone in this situation?

unironically read something stimulating. Some philosophy books or something. good luck on your trades

all you need is your visual channel, and that only at regular intervals

that leaves aural and physical wide open for stimulation
audiobook/podcast + organizing/exercise comes to mind

trade longer timeframes with no leverage every once in a while, like 1-2 weeks. the short-term dips and peaks won't matter to you and you can step away for a brief moment without worrying too much if you're confident in the overall direction. i like to scalp when the volatility is high but that's the only time when i sit down and really trade. once i make like 20k+ in a few hours I just step away again and prepare to trade the next move if i feel like it.

I have been making an average of 5% daily gains daytrading. Which pretty much doubles my money every 2 weeks. If I don't use leverage I won't be able to double my money.

good job dude, keep it up then. in that case maybe get into programming? learning c/python is how i stay occupied while still being in front of my trading rig, hoping to use that to build a trading bot eventually.

alternatively, you do know that 5% daily outperforms even some of the best traders on wall st. right? you deserve a break anon, go on a short vacation before you lose your mind or make a bad trade (telling you this from experience).

It has only been a couple of months. So I still have to learn more.
