I will cut to the chase. I have ADHD bad. Well I used to so to speak. I am against pharmaceuticals for my symptoms and ailments but I have made my own "brain stack" to be able to calm the noise in my mind over the past 6ish months with great results.
What I am noticing however is that my ADHD can both definitely positively and negatively effect my stock trading. I do this on the side of my w2 income and business we are starting but I do notice that it certainly plays a role into how I handle and do things.
I have a very small discord group of just a couple of guys who all trade the same way (I'll spare the details) but I got to talking with another guy in the group and he had said that he faces and deals with the same issues himself.
With all of that said, I have started on a journey to be able to tame my brain specifically around trading, and self-discovery around how I can actually benefit from how I am wired to my advantage. I am documenting my findings and what is working and what is not within a section of the discord chat.
I wanted to know if anyone else in here is currently facing the same issue/blessing with their brain and trading and how you manage and deal with it. One thing I am noticing lately is I can have a massive profit day (nearly double digit equity return in a day) and feel hardly anything but if I have a down day of say 2% I feel devastated.
