\"breathe\"<\/p>\n

In ten years deep breathing, meditation, whatever you want to call it, will be seen as important to your health as diet and exercise.\u00a0 Breathing for 10 minutes each day is a habit to implement to improve your trading.<\/p>\n

Welcome back to our new series <\/i>30 trading habits in 30 days.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Today we share habit #6- breathe.<\/p>\n

Each day after I teach my 11AM mentoring session, I close my office door, turn my chair around, take off my glasses, and breathe.\u00a0 I focus on my breath going through each part of my body from my toes to the top of my head.<\/p>\n

Why?\u00a0 How can this help my trading?<\/p>\n

In this information age, we are challenged to process massive amounts of information quickly and accurately.\u00a0 As traders we must process the information from the market at lightening-fast speeds and data dump-loads of volume.\u00a0 I am an information athlete.<\/p>\n

One of the most famous world\u2019s asset managers and the founder of Bridgewater Ray Dalio in Principles <\/i>attributes his success in part to daily meditation practices he has been doing for years.<\/p>\n

Deep breathing helps the trader in the follow ways:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. process market data more clearly ($GPRO on the open)<\/li>\n
  2. make better trade decisions ($BABA with $YHOO news midday)<\/li>\n
  3. stay calmer during stressful challenges ($ADBE spike on Friday)<\/li>\n
  4. focus for longer periods of time<\/li>\n
  5. more mindful of when trading on tilt<\/li>\n
  6. improve awareness of when in your A+ trades ($SPY failure on Fed day)<\/li>\n
  7. increase happiness<\/li>\n
  8. improve your social life<\/li>\n
  9. improve productivity<\/li>\n
  10. heighten brain function<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This exercise may seem a little strange to you at first, but if you stay with it the benefits are powerful.<\/p>\n
