As individual investors, we need to bring a level of consistency to our system that can prevent us from feeling overwhelmed.
Routines offer this consistency.
This is non-negotiable if you want to outperform the market or increase your current levels of profitability.
🔹 General Markets
🔹 Current Positions
🔹 Emotional Review
🔹 Focus List
🔹 Summary
The goal is to identify if the wind is at our backs.
You should note whether there has been a recent cluster of accumulation/distribution, where price is with respect to the KMAs, & the index's relationship to the highs.
The goal is to develop a plan of action for current positions for any scenario.
You want to include the position's grade (A-F), where you will sell on strength/weakness, & any other thoughts.
This is a good place to calculate your open risk as well.
The purpose of this section is to build a mental repository of sessions where you can connect current states to past states. Execution should improve the more you do this.
Jot down any thoughts or emotions you had throughout the trading day.
This is where you run your nightly scans, screen through your WLs, and develop a maximum of 5 stocks you will be focusing on in the coming session.
Focus Lists should be your only area of emphasis going into the next day.
Jot down any extra thoughts from today's session or areas of emphasis going into tomorrow's session.
We want to make we are fresh and ready to trade to our full potential the following session.
🔹 General Markets
🔹 Current Positions
🔹 Emotional Review

The Importance of Trading Rules (Quick thread)
Last week I sent out this poll asking if people have a written
Over 60% of people said they did not have one.
It's now one of my main goals to get as many people as possible to commit to writing their own rules which codify their goals and methods.
I strongly believe that writing down your strategy especially if you are a new trader/investor will lead to improved and more consistent performance in the stock market.
Trading the markets is a tough business, money is on the line and emotions can run high.
Preparing ahead of time is essential so that in the moment you are just executing your plan.
This is the best way to stay in the game for the long haul

The market’s best investors have made millions from the simple saying:
“Buy right, sit tight”
Sounds simple - but what does “buying right” even mean?
Use TraderLion's 10-Step Ultimate Guide to buying right 👇
By the end of this thread, you'll know how to:
1. Build an objective list of buy criteria
2. Have 10+ real world examples to study
3. Increase your win rate.
4. Increase your profitability
Let's dive in!
Buy Rule #1: The General market must be in an uptrend.
3 out of every 4 stocks follow the market trend both to the upside and to the downside.
This means that if you are buying a breakout in a downtrend, it already has a 75% chance of failing!
It doesn't matter if the stock is in a leading group with an impressive RS line and strong fundamental story.
At the end of the day, market direction is the MOST important factor!

Assalam Alaiki dear Sister in Islam. I hope this meets you well. Hope you are keeping safe in this pandemic. May Allah preserve you and your beloved family. I would like to address the misconception and misinterpretation in your thread. Please peruse the THREAD below.
1. First off, a disclaimer. Should you feel hurt by my words in the course of the thread, then forgive me. It’s from me and not from Islam. And I probably have to improve on my delivery. And I may not quote you verbatim, but the intended meaning would be there. Thank You!
2. Standing on Imam Shafii’s quote: “And I never debated anyone but that I did not mind whether Allah clarified the truth on my tongue or his tongue” or “I never once debated anyone hoping to win the debate; rather I always wished that the truth would come from his side.”
3. Okay, into the meat (my love for meat is showing. Lol) of the thread. Even though you didn’t mention the verse that permitted polygamy, everyone knows the verse you were talking about (Q4:3).
4. Your reasons for the revelation of the verse are strange. The first time I came across such. I had to quickly consult the books on the exegeses or tafsir of the Quran written by renowned specialists!
A lot of things Muslims do now and claim as Islamic rule is actually a culture that Islam curtailed or tried to perfect.

Let's talk polygamy.
Islam didn't come and say, "oh men, marry four wives"
No.
Polygamy was in existence, long before the coming of Islam.
