Good strategies to improve your trading discipline


Strategy 1 - Imagine that you are giving a live trading class to one student. Just play that role. The trick is to speak loudly and relax, just like a real class.

Strategy  2- Play music that you love. If you get angry because of any action or mistake, turn the volume up, so that you can't focus on your bad emotion, instead, you will focus on the music and feel good.

Pressure? Maybe

Hello traders, how are you?

I hope you had a very good Christmas and i wish everyone a very good 2013.

I would like to present two scenarios and i hope i can give you new ideas to apply in your trading in the new year:


Basketball

Boston Celtics @ Golden State Warriors

Golden State is in an impressive form. Curry is playing like an all star, Lee is playing very well and is very CONSISTENT and the other players are improving their game too. On the other hand, most of people had some hopes for this new team of Boston with some changes but they are not playing very well and their record on the league is proof of it. Golden state was 1.7 to win on that night. In my opinion the odds had a lot of value but i decided to enter later on the day. After some hours there was information that Rondo would not play and it was possible to have odds of 1.6 in golden state pre-live. To me this was huge value.  My only concern was Golden State team could be a bit tired but it was not a factor on the match. The team showed a lot of energy as always. So, rondo was not going to play. If you watch Boston Celtics matches you should know that rondo drives almost all the plays and he is a big part of Boston's offensive, setting easy shots for other players. The match went as expected. Boston was taking a lot of difficult shots and making more than 50 % of it but that would not last forever and they started missing shots and golden state had a 20 point advantage by the end of 2nd half.

Details

- One team in a very good form and very good record at home.
- Curry playing like an all start and Lee's consistency.
- The other team is not playing well.
- Boston PG was going to miss the match and he drives almost all the points. Team depends a lot on him to set easy shots for the other players -> team will have problems getting easy shots and to create other opportunities.


Tennis

Players that are paid to play a tournament.

  On the last months some events have made me think more about this topic. I was motivated to write about it after hearing that Djokovic was payed 800 000 € to play in Abu Dhabi,
according to a TV commentator. The question that i would like to ask you is,
 How would you play if someone pay you that quantity of money?
I would take every match very seriously and do a good job for sure.
Is this information useful for trading? Totally. Attitude is everything in every sport. I
love players that give everything. If we have attitude + skill we can get a lot of value if we are patient and we wait for The big fish ; ) Sometimes he will not appear but in the long run we win.

I love this quote from Ed Seykota
"Win or lose, everybody gets what they want out of the market."
