5 Tips for a Successful Trading Week

Here are 5 things to consider focusing on in the week ahead.

1. Plan your day – Don’t even open your broker’s platform until you’ve drafted a roadmap. 

2. Anticipate, don’t react – Let price come to you. You trade on YOUR terms not because the market looks exciting.
   
   
3. Set high standards and stick to them – You’re the type of trader who does what he says he will. No deviation.
   
   
4. Watch the change in volatility – Summer can be very stop/start. Ensure you are properly calibrated to conditions and have reasonable price target expectations.
   
   
5. No trade is often the best trade – A good week can mean staying out of trouble. The fat pitches will come soon enough.
