Daily Preparation
“The importance of doing your homework the night before to prepare for the next day’s trading session cannot be emphasized enough. Spontaneous trades are not a good way to make a living. Routines and rituals keep you in a steady frame of mind and help you focus on the task at hand–the next day’s trading opportunities.”
–from Street Smarts, by Larry Connors and Linda Bradford Raschke (1995, M. Gordon Publishing Group, Los Angeles)
