take a step back and maybe reduce your screen time. Try trading on higher time frames to help with overtrading and sticking to your plan. Also, consider journaling your trades and emotions to identify patterns and improve your mindset. Confidence will build with consistent, disciplined trading.

Hesitation and fear of execution often stem from lack of confidence or risk aversion. Overcome this by developing a solid trading plan, practicing with simulated trades, and gradually increasing your exposure as you build experience and trust in your strategy.

Hesitation and fear in forex trading often stem from uncertainty and risk of loss. Overcoming these requires building confidence through practice, understanding market trends, and having a well-defined trading plan to manage risks and execute decisions effectively.

Overtrading and the desire to constantly be in the market very often leads to fatigue, nervousness and, accordingly, to mistakes. Therefore, it is better to set aside a certain time for trading and time for rest and stick to this regime.
