Want Rock Solid Results? Harness the Power of Hyper-Focus:

You know the old saying – out of sight, out of mind. Well in my view, this world operates a bit like that too. In this game where tiny fractions of a cent make or break you, distractions are a clear and present danger. Even split-second lapses in focus could turn a sure thing trade sour in the blink of an eye.

I bet you’ve had days where your concentration felt razor sharp. The charts spoke to you with crystal clarity and you read plays before they unfolded. Executions were clean as a whistle, risk was managed surgically. Then on other days…well, let’s just say your mind was anywhere but on the tape!

Maybe the kids were unruly, an important call came in, or just general mental fatigue set in. Before you knew it, slippage was piling up and trades went sideways.

Don’t Make These 7 Huge Sins of Price Action Trading!

As I analyzed my own wins and losses, I noticed a clear trend – the more focused I was, the better I performed. And when distractions from the real world crept into my screen, I faced more volatility and less profitability.

That’s when I realized – it was not a game, but a serious business that required my full attention. So I made focus my number one goal for every session.

You don’t need any indicators or tools. You just need to learn how to read the market like a book. But price action trading is not easy. It takes a lot of practice, patience, discipline, and focus. Focus is the ability to pay attention to what matters and ignore what doesn’t.

How can you improve your focus? Here are some things that work for me:

• I only trade one market and one time frame at a time. This helps me avoid confusion and distraction from other markets and time frames.
  
• I have a simple and clear strategy that I follow consistently. This helps me avoid doubt and hesitation when I trade.
  
• I have a simple routine that I stick to every day. This helps me prepare mentally and emotionally, execute my trades with confidence, and review my performance objectively.
  
• I practice mindfulness and meditation every day. This helps me reduce stress and anxiety, enhance my concentration and awareness, improve my decision making, and boost my confidence and performance.

So how do you train your mind to enter “the zone” wherever and whenever needed? I’ll let you in on my process:

• Shut out distractions. Put devices on “do not disturb”, close unnecessary tabs, and clear your mindful before starting trade.
  
• Use prep time well. Research looks different than stalking timelines – get focused before markets open.
  
• Track your attention. Notice when your mind drifts and gently refocus. Over time, distractions lessen.
