Do you realize that your phone is destroying your trading results? I’m going to tell you exactly why. Let’s get into it more right now.
Hey traders! It’s Andrew here at The Forex Trading Coach video and podcast number 656.
Stop wasting your time scrolling.
That’s right. Your phone is absolutely destroying your trading. You have got no chance of being a good trader if you don’t change things. And what I want to tell you is that a survey that I saw yesterday claims that the average adult spends some 2.5 hours every single day on the phone, on social media, most of it a complete waste of time.
And it’s just incredible how people are stuck in the system and how mind blowingly stupid waste of life. Most of that is. How on earth can you expect to change things if you’re spending all your time just scrolling on a phone? Now, obviously, that’s where technology kind of is trying to lead you to go.
People are struggling financially.
But that’s why so many people are struggling financially because they’re called into the system and you’re told you need to be on every single social media.
You need to scroll, scroll, scroll. And if you’re not scrolling and wasting your time doing that, you’re probably watching mindless rubbish on the TV or even worse, mindless rubbish on the mainstream media. Of course, all of that is designed to get you hooked into continuously Just be hooked into it. It’s a little bit like fast food, but it’s fast food of the social media world. And so how can you expect to do well if you’re spending 2.5 hours on average per day on social media?
Spend your time wisely instead.
Yet I have people that say to me, Andrew, I can’t do your course because I don’t have 15 to 30 minutes to spend. Well, yes, you probably do. It’s just you need to be aware of where you’re wasting your time.
And do you want this enough? And if you don’t want it enough, that’s absolutely fine. You know, just continue doing what you’re doing. But, I’m sure most people watching this or listening to this could find 15 to 30 minutes, 2 or 3 days a week. Because, you know, once you know what you’re doing with trading, you don’t have to trade every single day.
Just trade, say like Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday when you’re more likely to get decent price action in the market. But when you consider that the average person spends 2.5 hours a day on social media, I’m sure that someone out there who really wants to learn how to trade for themselves and spend a bit of time just looking through charts and understanding a system and joining a forum, having a look at a couple of webinars, I’m sure you can spend 15, 20, 30 minutes a day on certain days of the week or even at weekends when you’re learning and and covering this sort of information.
Holiday time can be used to learn.
You know, most people who are on a 9 to 5, I’m sure you’re going to get somewhere between 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 weeks a year holiday. You’re going to get public holidays. You’re probably going to get a lot of people, you know, 1, 2 days a week end as well. So when people say they don’t have the time, it’s probably not quite true. Again, it comes down to how important is it to you?
So it is important to you. You’re at the right place. If it’s not, then please don’t watch anymore. But if you are at the right place. So you are at the right place. If it is important to you and you do want to change things around. Because after all, we’ve got what, barely 2 months of 2026 left and then we’re into another year and everybody’s going to go, oh.
New Year’s resolutions. I’m going to be a good trader this year. Why not start now? Why not, you know, take the next 2 months and understand the markets and get to learn how to do this properly.
