Frame your unique playbook to become YTB (Your Best Trader)

The journey from a novice trader to a professional trader is quite challenging. Trading like a pro not
only requires just a profitable strategy but also the required skill sets. A professional trader uses
concrete trading setups drawn on his significant trading experience. A pro trader comprehends the
mistakes made in their array of trades. All the trading experiences of a pro trader are archived in a
PLAYBOOK. A pro trader embarks on the journey from a CPT (consistently profitable trader) to YTB
(Your Best Trader) aided by the playbook.

Playbook: An Ingenious Solution

A playbook is a journal of the trading setups that aids a trader in getting most out of their
investment. It basically acts as a technique which enables a trader to estimate his trades after the
trading session. A trading playbook later becomes a source of confidence, an archive of the greatest
trading setups, and a chronicle to improve the trading game, perhaps with larger position sizes.

Playbook: A Game Changer

Developing a playbook will be a one-on-one trader rehearsal experience. The daily rehearsal,
thinking, trade talking, and review are crucial for a trader to internalize what setup suits him the
best. A trader can utilize this methodology for introspection to focus more on the highest probability
trading setups and eliminate disastrous hidden pitfalls. Designing a playbook will eventually shape
you to be a profitable, efficient and a diligent trader.

How does a Playbook foster the efficacy of trading and makes you a pro trader?

 Finding the best setups: To be a pro trader, one must utilize his intellect to build the best trading
setups which would in turn help him to become a self-directed, consistently profitable trader
proficient in surviving in all market scenarios. Following the path laid by other traders will only
make you vigilant before placing a trade. A trading playbook would help in crystallizing few
trading setups that work the best.
 Increase the position size in best setups: As most failing traders are too much obsessed about
their trading weakness, a playbook engages a trader in analyzing the setups that are most
profitable. This would build confidence in sizing up the positions in the similar pattern, thereby
enhancing your P&L.
 Lowering the trading stress: A pro trader analyses his forte and trades accordingly. He knows
what’s the best setup with minimal risk. Creating a Playbook will reduce the stress and make
execution easier.

A pro trader operates in a three-dimensional space. They are mindful of both their personal feelings
and the market's mass psychology when it comes to trading. They identify their weaknesses and
work to change which makes them their YTB (Your Best Trader).
