How about a 5-day challenge?

(Time to tap into that competitive streak I know you’ve got.)

Here’s the plan…

THE 5-DAY DISCIPLINE CHALLENGE

For the next five days, stick to one simple rule:

Start each trading day with a list of 3 things you’ll do, no matter what.

That’s it.

Not 2, not 5, not 20… just 3.

Here’s how it works:

1️⃣ Pick 3 high-impact actions every morning.
Examples:

  • Run through your pre-market checklist.
  • Set clear entry, exit, and risk levels before each trade.
  • Take a 5-minute break after every trade to review your execution.

2️⃣ Stick to them. No exceptions.
If it’s on your list, it gets done. No excuses. No “I’ll do it later.”

3️⃣ Review your results every evening.
Did you follow through? Where did you slip up? What will you adjust tomorrow?

Why does this work?
Because trading success isn’t about big wins or complex strategies. It’s about mastering small, repeatable habits that build discipline over time.

Build discipline, build confidence.

So, here’s your Day 1 task:

Write down 3 non-negotiable actions you’ll take today.
Keep them simple. Keep them specific. Then, execute.

Most traders won’t even make it past Day 3. But if you commit to the full 5 days, you’ll notice something:

You’re calmer. More focused. More in control.

That’s the power of discipline.

Give it a go… you can do 5 days? Right?
