How to Build a Trading Routine That Keeps You Consistent

By Mohamed Amine Sououdi, Founder · 5 min read

Consistency in trading almost never comes from being more disciplined by force of will. It comes from a routine that makes the right actions automatic and the wrong ones harder. Build the routine once and it does the disciplining for you.

Before the session

Check the macro backdrop and the economic calendar so you know what is driving your markets and when the risk events are. Decide your bias, your setups for the day, and your maximum loss. A session with a plan is a session with a brake.

During the session

Trade only your pre-defined setups, at your fixed risk. Add friction after a loss — a short cooldown before the next click, where revenge trades are born. If you hit your daily loss limit, you are done, no exceptions.

After the session

Journal every trade with your reason and state of mind while it is fresh. Do not review emotionally right after a loss; save the real analysis for a calm weekly review.
