Easiest way to avoid overtrading
Maintaining a journal specially a hard one (like a diary) where for each day you have only limited no of spaces, and if all the spaces got filled you are not going to trade more on that particular day.
This could be one solution, only if you can control yourself. But trading is like an addiction, it always attracts you, especially the green and red colour figures, and if you use dark colour theme for your trading platform it creates a contrast with colored figures which attracts you towards trading which is difficult to resist. I was facing this problem of over trading also and in some days, I had records of taking more than 60 70 trades without worrying about anything,which is actually not a good practice, but when I changed my theme from dark to light, slowly I started to get the result, and now after few months of using light theme this issue of overtrading is gone.
And I think if any one is facing this kind of issue then can try changing their theme from dark to light and give it a try. And surely you are using a trading journal too.
