"What's your morning routine like?

My morning routine is really important to me. I feel much calmer when I follow it compared to just waking up and going straight to work.Here's what I do:- From 7 to 7:30 AM, I wake up, tidy up my place a bit.- At 8 AM, I take a shower and get ready.- Around 8:15 AM, I read my positive affirmations and gratitude list.- Then, at 8:30 AM, I check the stock market and make a plan for the day.- At 9 AM, I meditate for 10-20 minutes.- By 9:30 AM, I start trading.How about your morning routine?"

6:00am - Start charting and start the trading day

Work until 10am ish

Lunch after and enjoy the day

Studying/chart setup gets done sometimes at night. I don't really trade Asia anymore. Just finished my chart setup and replying to reddit, should probably get to sleep lol

I wake up and get prepared for my first live stream ( if my live stream is in the morning). I have my breakfast and prepare to trade the London session ( if it is a trading day), if there is no trade I will be backtesting. Time then passes and I will prepare for the NY trading session but if theres no trade I will just relax and watch some videos. Thats my daily routine.

my morning routine involves waking up at the same time every day, reviewing my trading plan, and setting specific goals for the day.

Before starting the trading day, I always spend time reviewing my trading plan, including risk management strategies and target goals.

Whatever the thought popping into their head upon waking up, great traders must bring themselves into the right mindset as part of their morning routines.

I often find myself looking at charts very early in the morning, not to enter trades, but to make sure I do a proper analysis.

Keeping a journal with objectives, accomplishments and things to be grateful for is a great way to keep moving forward.
