According to Mr．Hunt，what is the major cause of stress? What does Mr．Hunt say about the best way to beat stress?

F：Mr．Hunt，what do you think is the major cause of stress?
M：Stress is generally driven by the feeling of being out of control of a situation and the feeling of a situation controlling you．It’s the feeling of uncertainty，being out of control，that causes the stress．
F：So why exactly does your job have a reputation for being stressful?
M：Well，trading financial markets combines both of the above-mentioned situations．Your financial position can change in a matter of seconds，and what changes that position is generally a situation beyond your control as a trader．It is possible to lose in seconds what may have taken you a year to make．I think that’s why many people say trader is a stressful job．
F：How do you relax in the evening?
M：In the evening，I very rarely do anything related to my work，so it’s easy to escape‘the markets’．I generally go to the gym or go for a run．especially if I’ve had a bad day．I always cook a meal rather than have a takeaway，to do something my brain would regard as creative．I find it quite helpful!More often than not I will watch some TV before going to bed，as I find it helps me to wind down，to relax．If I go to bed straight after work，it’s harder to sleep．
F：What do you do to beat stress at the weekend?
M：I like to be busy and active．I like the feeling of having achieved something over the weekend and it being productive．I definitely don’t like wasting days．Most weekends are a mixture of household jobs like fixing something，shopping or gardening and socialising with friends．I also go to watch football games at least once a week．
F：Do you think what you do to relax is an effective way to beat stress?
M：I don’t think there is a specific rule about how to beat stress．I generally find that what I do is effective for me．
F：Would you consider changing your job because of the high stress factor?
M：I have considered leaving my job because of those stress related factors．However，I think that anelement of stress is a good thing and if it is used the right way，it can actually be a positive thing．It can lead to a change in direction，success，and even encourage you to do something new．
F：What do you enjoy about the stressful aspects of your job?
M：Having said all that，I do actually enjoy an element of uncertainty．It requires you to keep alert all the time!I enjoy a mental challenge．Trading triggers a very wide range of emotions second by second． How you deal with and manage those emotions dictates short，medium and long term trading performance and success．
F：Do you become less stressed the longer you do the job or does it become more stressful as you go on?
M：I would say it remains constant．The source and the nature of the stress changes and how you deal with it changes due to experience，but，but，it’s always there．
