Changes to Your Routine for 2026
By Dave Mabe
"Routine, in an intelligent man, is a sign of ambition." - W. H. Auden
Your trading habits directly translate into results.
Professional chefs don't need to be reminded to sharpen their knives.
If your 2025 results weren't as good as you hoped, how will 2026 be different?
What's your concrete plan to sharpen your trading knives in the new year?
Are you using a butter knife without realizing it?
Your process and tools are everything.
One of the biggest turning points for traders is when they stop trying to copy what someone else is trading and create a process for making their own edges.
Have you made that shift yet?
Happy New Year!
