Question

Placed my first real trade and I can't stop checking the price. Normal?

Bought a small position in an ETF yesterday and I've checked it about 40 times. How do you all deal with this?

    Completely normal! It usually means the position feels big relative to your comfort. Size down until you can ignore it.

    Set price alerts at your stop and target, then close the app. Game changer.
