Treat Your Trading Like This Game
The Discipline Exercise That Exposes
What’s Really Holding You Back
Play this game with me for a second…
Imagine there’s a bag.
Inside that bag are 10 folded pieces of paper.
On each one? A different trading strategy.
Things like:
Opening Range Breakout
Momentum ignition after a reversal
First pullback to VWAP
Trend breakout with tape confirmation
It could be anything.
Now here’s the game…
THE RULES
You stick your hand in the bag and pull out one strategy.
That’s it. That’s now your strategy for the next 90 days.
- No changing.
- No switching.
- No tweaking the rules mid-trade.
You also get £10,000 in starting capital.
And there are other traders playing too.
Whoever achieves the best risk-adjusted return after 90 days…
Wins £1,000,000.
So, no swinging for the fences.
No doubling down after a loser.
Just disciplined execution of your strategy.
Now think…
What would you do?
You’d probably: Figure out which markets give your strategy the best edge
Set clear risk parameters to maximise return without blowing up
Add time-of-day filters to only trade during prime conditions
Create rock-solid entry criteria and a clean exit plan
You’d get to work.
Test. Refine. Track. Review.
If Week 1 was a disaster, you wouldn’t abandon it…you can’t!
You’d adapt.
Adjust.
Find a way to make it work.
Now think about this…
Why not treat your real trading like this?
- Pick a strategy.
- Give it 90 days.
- Commit.
Tweak only what’s necessary.
Review. Improve. Go again.
Most developing traders fail not because they picked the “wrong” strategy…
But because they never stayed with one long enough to master it.
So the question is:
What’s your strategy in the bag?
And are you willing to actually make it work?
