1. More time in the chair, less time in front of the computer screen We all understand the importance of time in the chair. However, there is a difference between time in the chair and simply sitting in a chair. Just because you spend ten hours at your computer does not mean that all ten hours were counted towards the 10,000 hours needed to be a professional. Some traders feel the need to be at the computer screen nearly twenty-four hours each day. In actuality, this can be more detrimental than beneficial because the more you sit and stare at the chart the more prone you are to talking yourself into a trade. Focus on the time in the chair and not just sitting in the chair. 2. Keep it Simple Traders have a tendency to over think. Don't ! No need to make things more complicated than they need to be. Minimize your thinking. Just focus on trading. Do what you're supposed to do, when you're supposed to do it. 3. Sticking to the Plan Your trading plan was created, written, and developed with the help of an iFT Trading Coach for a reason: to keep your emotions in check and to provide a forced discipline upon yourself while trading the market. Don't deviate away from it. Stick to it. Whatever the year 2012 brought for you as a trader, the good, the bad, the indifferent, improve upon it. Use your weaknesses to create new strengths, use your strengths to remind yourself just how good of a trader you are today, and use the indifferent to realize just how far you still need to go. Happy New Year Traders !!!
