What this lesson covers
Stress narrows your attention, and a trader with tunnel vision stops seeing the wider picture at exactly the moment they most need it. This lesson covers controlled breathing as the fastest way to interrupt that response, because breathing is the one part of the stress reaction you can influence directly and immediately. It explains what happens physiologically when pressure rises, why fear and greed feel so compelling in the moment, and how a deliberate breathing pattern brings the body back to a state where clear thinking is possible. Several techniques are given along with when to use each, including before a session, while a position is running against you, and in the minutes after a loss when the impulse to trade again is strongest.
