It’s not fundamental or technical. It’s a good night’s sleep.
We don’t talk about trading habits nearly enough but this is a great article on how hitting the snooze button can mess up your brain chemistry.
A few reminders, because they can’t be repeated often enough:
- If a trade keeps you up at night, your position is too big
- Know your biorhythms. If you’re sharper at night, trade at night
- Know your mood and adjust accordingly
The bottom line is that you need to be at your best to trade at your best.
