Arrive before you begin
Give yourself a moment to notice what you’re bringing to the screen. This isn’t a test you need to pass.
What are you arriving with?
Notice your energy, any tension, and anything outside trading that is taking up space. There’s no right answer.
Name the pressure
Is there something you feel you have to prove, recover, or accomplish today? Naming an expectation doesn’t make it a requirement.
Choose how you want to show up
Choose an intention about your own behavior, rather than an outcome the market must deliver. For example: “Notice when I’m rushing” or “Make room for a pause.”
You’ve made space to notice yourself. This check-in doesn’t decide whether you should trade or assess your readiness.
