Spending more hours watching charts doesn't automatically make me a better trader.
Unstructured screen time can reinforce impulsive habits and encourage unnecessary trades.
I prefer focused sessions with a clear objective, followed by a review of what I learned. Deliberate practice, useful feedback, and consistent evaluation matter more than simply counting hours in front of a chart.

Spot on. Staring at charts all day is one of the fastest ways to burn out and start overtrading out of sheer boredom. Focused sessions protect your capital and your mindset.
This is especially critical when trading with a prop firm. Because evaluations enforce strict daily loss limits and drawdown boundaries, idle screen time often tempts traders into taking low-quality setups just to feel productive. Treating your trading hours like a structured business window helps keep those impulsive habits in check.
