I am not talking about just having a trading plan either, I’m talking about what you do from the time you wake up to the time you sleep, this is all part of your daily trading routine. A routine not only helps you naturally because it keeps you in-tune and intimately connected to the most important things you need to do each day (like analyze the charts), thus making you better at them (think practice), but it will also give you the best chance at implementing your trading plan successfully and following your rules of engagement in the market (since you will already be behaving in a consistent and disciplined manner – following the trading plan becomes more natural and easier).
