Today's lesson
The routine, from the Framework
60 min beforeWake routine: hydrate, ten minutes of movement, no phone screens.
45 min beforeSit down at the desk. Clear the inbox of trading items only.
30 min beforeReview higher-timeframe charts. Mark key levels.
20 min beforeComplete this checklist in full.
10 min beforeWrite today's process goal in one sentence.
5 min beforeTwo minutes of breathwork. Confirm risk parameters.
SessionTrade only the setups above. Say the entry, stop and target aloud before clicking. One journal line after every trade. Stop at the daily loss limit, two losses in a row, or the max trade count.
15 min afterComplete the Daily Execution Journal. Honest, not generous.
30 min afterShut down. The trading day is over.
