Do you have a morning routine as a day trader? I find
that whenever I follow my morning routine before trading, my focus is unbeatable in the charts and analysis. I usually wake up by 6am and start with cardio or just walk my dog. Next is a light breakfast. Eating light meals is essential because I won't feel very heavy and dull. And on some days, depending on how I feel, I skip breakfast totally for some homemade juice. I repeat my mantra several times ," today is already a great day." After which I go to my computer and start trading. On somedays I make good profits on some other days, I don't. Overall, my morning routine keeps me mentally prepared to face the day. Kindly share some of your morning routine before trading.
I just go for a little exercise just to sweat it out and release all my life’s insanities so I can see a more wholesome self and more life’s positivity. That’s a good start for the day. And I do eat breakfast with a little sip of beverage or coffee as I get used to it every morning. And one most important thing I do consider before trading, I never trade when I’m in doubts or troubled. I know I can only focus on my trades if I am surrounded by good vibes that will motivate myself more to trade successfully and end up with significant profits.
Actually trading or not on that day, the morning routine should always be done. For me it's not a need to trade, but a need for my health.
For example, every morning I exercise either in a relatively short or longer time, that is my need to be able to maintain my health. However, if it is related to the trading activities that we do, it will also have an effect, because when we do morning routines such as exercise it will make us fresher.
I occasionally don't wake up early and wake up late, and that really makes my body uncomfortable, unlike when doing my morning routine.
