Getting away from the screens is healthy even for the day trader. Clears the mind for reevaluating the situation. Agree with that Market Flavor.

I like to head outside and grab some coffee or find something else I can do for awhile. This allows me to really consider the situation and the effects of my possible actions.

Then, I have to wait until the next morning before doing a trade. It gives me enough time to evaluate the real situation and then I can trade the next morning if it's needed. Anyway, a day of trading (when you are not a daytrader) is not much worth of value for regular investors. In order to stay calm, I always check at my stocks once the market is closed.

I am very emotionally driven when it comes to stocks. I usually tend to make the unemotional decisions but I do freak out when I see a gap down or a large move with no apparent reason to why... BTW: I think you want the title of your post to say "How to Stay Calm While Trading" (It says Clam) Good stuff. I am very emotionally driven when it comes to stocks.

I keep a trading journal of my trades. In it, I keep track of every time I break a rule. Whether that's selling too early, or not buying a setup, etc. This gives me an indication of what my biggest mistakes are, and what I need to work on. Elmiminate those emotional mistakes, and the winners take care of themselves. Good idea.
