Building Your Trading By Building Your Consistency
Bella makes an excellent point in his recent post: We improve our trading not only by making improvements during trading hours, but also by building consistency in our lives outside of trading. It is through such consistency that we build habit patterns. Those habits reinforce qualities in us that show up in our work.
Of course it's a no-brainer. I play with Sofie. And I would have done the same thing if it had been my little son or daughter coming up to me while I was reading, writing, or working. People and their needs come first. That's what makes me a psychologist. The consistency of acting upon that is a big part of what has helped me be effective when the people I work with have needed attention.
