What is impulse trading and how to avoid it?

Impulse trading is entering trades without analysis or strategy, often triggered by boredom, market noise, or emotions. It usually leads to inconsistent results and higher losses. Avoiding impulse trading requires structured routines: use checklists before entries, set alerts instead of watching charts endlessly, and predefine conditions for valid trades. Developing patience and focusing on quality setups over quantity reduces impulsive mistakes. Professional traders follow systems, not impulses.
