How do you get rid of overtrading?

25 Jun 2026 · Edited from Martin’s stream; not a verbatim quotation.

I don't think I can completely get rid of overtrading, but I try to reduce it and minimize the damage. It takes time; I spent almost five years working on this problem. The best way is to review your past trades and identify which ones you should not have taken, including trades where you did not even know what you were doing. With enough recorded data, you gradually understand when you are prone to overtrade. I tend to overtrade when the market is extended and stocks are doing well, because I start micromanaging, become too aggressive, and chase stocks if I missed the previous run.
