The power of habits

Your trading schedule

  • Fit your own day to day routine
  • Help you to improve your results
  • Be compatible with your beliefs and personality.

Pre-trading routine

The process starts before being in front of the chart and pushing buttons to place trades. Preparation for the trading day is crucial for any of you. Here you need to consider basic things like having a shower (no coffee or any other drink that accelerates your heart beat), eating healthy, and doing some sort of mental warm-up (meditation is a good example).

These activities are going to heavily weigh on your performance and sadly, most of the traders do not manage to take them into account.

Trading routine

Doing your trading analysis and here we mean technical analysis, fundamental analysis, market sentiment analysis, picking up a few instruments that you are going to focus on (since it is impossible to monitor a 1,000 instruments) and doing your plan (at what levels you look to buy/sell, what should happen in the market in order to change your view etc.).

Having this well-structured string of activities are going to leverage your actions and improve your performance. Make sure to take care of each one we have mentioned above and with time you will begin to see better and better results.
