Pre-Market Ritual (Before Market Open)

  1. Mindset Reset (5 min)

    🧘‍♂️ “I am a consistently profitable trader. I wait for my setup patiently. I execute with proper risk management. I have no FOMO or impatience, because I manage my emotions properly.”.

    Breathe. Focus. Get your mind in the zone. No emotions, just execution.

  2. Market Overview (3 min)

    🔍 "What’s the market telling me?"

    Check the news. Review key support/resistance. No setup? No trade. Period.

  3. Focus on Process (2 min)

    📝 “I trade my plan, not my emotions.”

    Write your risk for the day (0.5% or 1%) and commit to your rules. Stay disciplined.

  4. Visualize (3 min)

    🎯 “I execute like a pro, no hesitation.”

    Visualize the perfect trade: entry, stop loss, target. Feel the calm, not the rush.
