Making the mind sharp - focused
Posted: Wed Aug 18, 2010 6:52 am
The past 3 weeks I've been making some nice progress in collecting pips. I was trading less and making consistent profits. However this week I can feel some regression into old trading pattern and being a nervous wreck when placing a trade, hesitating etc..
During those 3 weeks I was training like a mad man. All my lifts were PB's that final week. I was also taking a supplement called Jacked http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/usp/jacked.html
I felt quite humbled and centered after taking this supplement, and as I would train with fantastic intensity and focus, come home eat and then watch the London opening I would place my 1 trade, make my 20 - 50 pips and be done for the day.
I guess the stimulants made my mind sharp and I didn't overthink etc.
So my question is how can I possibly achieve that mental state naturally before I start trading?
OR
Does anyone have any before trading rituals that helps them trade better?
Cheers
Nick
