@rewirewithmilli: stop scrolling. this is real. and you might be affected. if you can't sit in front of a chart for more than a few minutes without entering a trade or reaching for your phone, you have brain rot. but before you panic, this can be fixed. what is brain rot? brain rot is a proven cognitive decline that develops when you spend too much time consuming low-quality online content like tiktoks, IG, X, YouTube shorts... symptoms include short attention span, memory issues, impulsive behavior, and the inability to sit still and focus on anything complex. in trading those symptoms show as not being able to wait for your setup, fomo trading, oversizing, constantly changing timeframes or clicking buttons just to "do something". why does brain rot happen? every time you scroll and find something entertaining, your brain releases dopamine - the feel-good chemical. and the faster and more stimulating the content, the bigger the hit. over time this changes how your brain works. your brain gets used to receiving dopamine at a high speed and intensity (think second tiktok videos). anything that doesn't deliver fast dopamine feels unbearable. boring. not worth your time. (like waiting for your a+ set-up, or trading small with just one contract). and that becomes a serious problem when you sit down to trade. trading requires patience. it requires sitting with uncertainty. it requires analysing information slowly and carefully before making a decision. it is the complete opposite of what a dysregulated brain wants to do. this isn't a rare problem. this is the majority of traders right now. most people sit down at their charts already cognitively fried from hours of scrolling - without realising their phone addiction is literally rewiring their brain. and that social media might be the exact reason they can’t follow their rules. if you found this post, you might have hit your turning point. it's time for you to realise that the reason you're stuck is not because of your strategy, emotions or discipline. you're stuck because your phone addiction has conditioned your brain to crave constant action and it's preventing you from following your strategy and being patient. the good news? brain rot is reversible. follow for part 2 - i'll share the exact steps i took to fix it. #tradingjourney #tradingtips #daytrading #trading #howtotrade
