I am lucky in that I don't need to hide this, however, if swing-trading or if holding for the longer term, it is quite easy to just set up everything using stop and/or limit orders. Do most of your homework at night, decide on potential buy points and place your orders. Use OTO orders and you can set up your stop-losses as well. No monitoring needed.
If I pay more in $30 to Interactive Brokers in commissions a month (to avoid their $10 minimum charge), I usually have a bad month. If I just ride the positions out, I tend to have good months.
It is also a lot easier to let your profits run if you don't monitor the trades all the time. It is just one way to avoid self-sabotage.
