Excessive Screen Time

Action

Excessive screen time, within cryptocurrency and derivatives markets, manifests as a compulsive monitoring of price fluctuations and order book dynamics, often exceeding levels commensurate with informed trading strategies. This behavior frequently correlates with increased trade frequency, potentially diminishing returns due to transaction costs and adverse selection. The resultant cognitive load can impair rational decision-making, leading to impulsive reactions to short-term market noise rather than adherence to a pre-defined investment thesis. Consequently, sustained engagement with market data, beyond the scope of planned execution, can erode profitability and elevate psychological risk.
