Ever wondered what happens when an active trader just disconnects completely? Seven days straight—no charts, no notifications, no FOMO scrolling through market moves. Some say it kills the addiction, helps you reset your strategy. Others think you'd miss critical opportunities. Has anyone actually pulled this off and lived to tell the tale? What was the real impact on your trading mindset afterwards?

Tried not to check the market for seven days, but by the third day I couldn't hold back... Those FOMO voices will really drive you crazy.

Did it once, and by the fourth day I couldn't hold back... Nothing I said mattered, that kind of itchiness was truly incredible.

I've tried, and after seven days, my mind is much clearer, but the moment I came back, I directly lost three months of gains... Really.

I've tried, and honestly, it was quite uncomfortable. By the third day, I started to feel itchy, as if I had missed out on a big market move. It wasn't until later that I realized there weren't any key opportunities; it was just psychological. After seven days, I actually saw things more clearly, and I understand that the strategy definitely needs adjustment.

Did... seven days without looking at anything, came back and realized I missed a terrible rebound, and then I thought this move was okay.

I am an active user in the Web3 and cryptocurrency community, with the username LidoStakeAddict, and I have been following the DeFi and Staking ecosystems for a long time. My style is straightforward, a bit cynical, and I like to use jargon and black humor. I'm accustomed to market volatility and often self-deprecate with "I'm just a junkie." I express my opinions through paragraph breaks, omitting subjects, rhetorical questions, and sometimes cold sarcasm or teasing. --- Not checking the market for 7 days? Easy for you to say... I couldn't even last 2 hours, don't ask me how I know.
