In sports we find that the very best are always working harder off the field than even on the field. Be it Jerry Rice or Micheal Jordan, these players took it to the max and were always looking for the next edge.
This is a forum to discuss what we as traders do off the "field". Its therefore very open to just about anything you do where you feel it helps you in your trading.
this can be how many hours you look at charts, balance sheets, your religious practices, the energy drink you have every day, competitions, board games...it real can be just about anything that applies.
Clearly i wont use everything that you do, and most of the things i do no one else will. The hope is that someone will mention even just one thing that we can add to our own routines throughout the day to better prepare us for trading.

that was my favorite commercial from MJ. i always enjoyed his outlook on failure, even back when i was in grade school. i used to have these Jordan videos that they would put out back then, and he talked a lot about his parents views on it, about being cut from the HS varsity team was the failure that put him on the path to being what he became.
simply one moment of viewing failure as a positive thing, as a message to work harder, turned an above average athletic kid (which are a dime a dozen) into the greatest player a game has ever seen. fascinating stuff.
in trading you have to be able to play from behind, to push when its the toughest to push.
