For some traders or even investors, they are tempted to watch the market every day. This is to make sure that their share price will not drop below their expectation, and to make sure that the stocks that they bought are rising.

If you are a trader that trade for the market fluctuation, then watching over the market every day is reasonable. However, if you are an investor that planned to hold a stock for much longer term, that is not much point for you to stare at the market every day. Questions may arise that even investors will worry about their share price dropping below their cost or their cut lost point, but if all these are well-prepared beforehand, the writer does not see the necessity to keep staring at the market.

If you have a cut loss point, set it before the market is open. If you planned to sell your shares, queue it before the market open. This is because when someone stares at the market for too long, it will affect their decision making. For example, when you are initially planning to sell stock A at RM1, but you see that the buyers are pushing the price towards RM1 very quick, and you decided to up your selling price to RM1.05. However, most traders have earned enough and started to sell, the price may not even hit RM1.05, but begins to retrace. Same goes to buying a stock, the market fluctuation will most definitely affect one’s decision. Hence, keep away from the market if possible. It is healthier for investors to check the market after it has closed, thus making decision for the next day.

In short, investors that planned a stock for long term shall not commit themselves to watch the market every day because it will affect the decision making. In fact, focus more on the fundamental and make decision outside the market when everyone is calmed, and not affected by external pressure.

对于一些交易者甚至是投资者来说，他们都蛮常会每天盯着股票市场。这让他们可以确定股价不会跌破它们的预测，也要确定他们买的股会上升。

如果交易者盯着市场看然后来做短期交易，那在正常不过了。可是对于想要长期持有的投资者来说，并没有每天看盘的必要。当然有人会问，万一股价跌到了止损点怎么办？但是，如果这些早就准备好了的话，那就没有花时间看盘的必要了。

如果早就设定好了止损点，那在开市前指定了就好。如果打算在某个价位卖票，那在开市前排进去就好，这主要因为当你看得越久时，越会影响你早些时候做的决定。如果你打算把A股卖在RM1，可是当你觉得买压很高时，并且很快的往RM1前进，你便会改掉你的价钱，并放在RM1.05，但是因为交易者都已经赚够了，也开始卖了，那股价便会回调，甚至在达到你RM1.05的新价位时就回调了。在买的时候也一样，股价的浮动肯定会影响人的思维，所以，投资者最好是避免无时无刻盯着盘看，而只在收市后看价钱，准备隔天的计划。

总结，长期投资者不应该花时间每天看盘，毕竟这很容易影响他们的判断。投资者更应该注重公司的基本面，而在市场最安静，最没有压力的时候做出决定。
