Keep yourself busy between trades... Work, run a business, study or play video games. Being busy between trades will help to keep your mind occupied and your emotions focused on something else. As soon as emotion becomes involved in trading, everything will go pear-shaped.
Focus on the long-term. Calculate returns and review your trading performance once per quarter or once per year. Checking returns daily or weekly just becomes frustrating and leads to emotional trading. Trading is about getting rich slowly. Analysing performance on a daily or weekly basis is irrational and can be soul destroying.
Have a trading schedule. Start, finish and check the charts the same time everyday. Many new traders never develop a trading routine. This leads to them checking the charts too often or having long breaks between trades.
