In The PlayBook, <\/em>my thesis was for traders to study their best trades and build from them, trading these setups more often and bigger.\u00a0 The feedback I have received is that this has helped many traders.\u00a0 If you are not actively studying your strengths, consider doing so.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, during our SMB Options Tribe webinar, special guest, trading author<\/a>, and trading coach to some of the world’s largest traders Dr. Brett Steenbarger<\/a> shared,”The best traders study when they trade best.”<\/p>\n

This is a more complete thought.<\/p>\n

A subset of studying when you trade best is the best setups for you.\u00a0 But studying your best trading involves more.\u00a0 Such as:<\/p>\n

I trade well when I workout 4xs a week.<\/p>\n

I trade well when I am under 197 pounds.<\/p>\n

I trade well when I trade stocks with a news catalyst.<\/p>\n

I trade well when I sleep 8 hours a night.<\/p>\n

I trade well when I take time to have fun outside of work.<\/p>\n

I trade well when I drink ice tea during the trading session and nix diet soda.<\/p>\n

I trade well when I practice mindfulness each day.<\/p>\n

I trade well when I leverage technology to assist my trading.<\/p>\n

I trade well when I express my ideas with stocks AND options.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When do you trade well?<\/p>\n

And then next, who will hold you accountable for you keeping the routine that allows you to trade at your best?<\/p>\n
