The Myth of All-Day Trading
Many people think trading successfully means sitting in front of multiple screens for eight hours a day. For most, that’s not only impractical — it’s counterproductive.
A well-structured 15 minute trading routine can deliver better consistency, lower stress, and more freedom.
What a 15-Minute Trading Routine Looks Like
A short trading routine works because it removes noise and focuses only on high-probability setups. Here’s a proven structure:
1. Pre-Market Scan (5 Minutes)
- Review your chosen ticker’s overnight movement
- Check for major economic events or news
2. Identify Levels (5 Minutes)
- Mark your entry and exit zones before the market opens
- Use historical data and predictable patterns
3. Execute or Pass (5 Minutes)
- Only take the trade if it meets all your conditions
- If not, skip the day — no forcing trades
