If You’re Bored, You’re Probably Doing It RightYou think trading should be exciting? That every day should feel like a high-stakes chess match? That if it doesn’t feel intense, something’s wrong? Nope. Good trading is boring. Systematic. Repetitive. Unemotional. You take your setup. You size properly. You respect your stops. You move on. Same rules. Same routine. Same process. It’s not sexy. But it’s stable. The truth? The more exciting your trading feels, the more likely you’re slipping. Overleveraging. Overtrading. Overreacting. Boredom isn’t a bug. It’s a feature. It means you’re not chasing. You’re not forcing. You’re following your edge — and letting the numbers do the heavy lifting. You don’t need adrenaline. You need consistency. Get comfortable with boredom. That’s where the money is. Boredom is not your enemy — it’s your ally. Stay patient, stay consistent. Charts & Grit
