People often talk about hiding P&L during a trade because it might negatively impact their trading. Others claim it makes no difference because you can calculate it in your head anyway.
Can anyone point out any POSITIVE impact of keeping your P&L up might have?
My portable setup is starting to become not so portable.
Pro tip: The more screens you have, the more shitcoins/bagholds you can watch go down in value at the same time.

Yesterday I decided to baghold a losing position overnight and took a big loss on it today. Today I decided to do it again because it's not a loss until you sell.
I invented this proprietary technology years ago and it's working flawlessly in this market. Willing to share it for the right price. DM me offers!

Sure stranger from the internet, why don't I go out of my way to teach you something that took me years to learn so you can make some $. In fact, why don't you send me your bank details so I can just send you $ instead
If you won a billion dollars and you had the choice to either:
1) Retire on an island somewhere or
2) Smack all the bids on any stock
Which ticker would you hit?
If I had a dollar for every time I thought "Oh, I get it now" during my first year of trading only to feel the complete opposite a day later, I'd be retired on a beach somewhere.

I have mastered 2 setups this week:
1) Spam the locate button periodically from 4am and somehow miss the few minute window shares are available
2) Pay for borrows early and never get to use them

A question for the experienced traders(5+ years) out there:
Did you ever go through an extended period where you lost your passion for trading or didn't enjoy what you were doing? Not necessarily from a period of drawdown. How did you overcome it? Feedback is much appreciated!
