I can't tell for sure do I have ADD or not, most likely I do. I can easily be distracted. But I can't sit like 5-6 hours straight coding stuff, watching charts, etc. So I spent even more with wasting my time on reddit/youtube. I can't fight it. But sometimes I have some kinda rush when I do some work in 2-3 hours that couldn't do in a week. Man, brain is a funny thing.

I get an idea, backtest it, feeling that this is finally my suitable strategy and then some loosing trades appear. And i know this is totally normal, but i can't deal with it and decide to move on

You don't skip system because you're bored but rather when losestreak comes, right? I don't think it has something to do with ADHD. Low self-esteem? Wrong attitude with money (if it's real account)? Think about it

If here are any traders suffering from ADHD/ ADD please share your learning routes with me. Did you use audio books instead of paper books? Did you hyperfocus on specific Instruments? How did you stimulate your short term rewarding system of the long route of learning how to trade? What pitfalls might be there for an ADHD/ ADD trader?

I have schizophrenia and one of the symptoms is difficulty thinking and lack of motivation which may or may not be similar to ADHD. I just focus on a goal and my actions kind of lead up toward that goal I have in mind. Like if I want to read a book, I focus on the goal of making money and supporting myself financially with trading and reading a book becomes a piece of the goal. That is how I did things, hope I haven't gone too far off track.

Hi @Pusteblume,

Please only post in English in the English-language sections of the forum, so that others who have no German can understand and respond.

There is a German-language section that you can use if you prefer.

Thanks.

Bob.
