If you start your trading week by opening charts and looking for something to trade, this is for you. ‼️

One habit changed how I trade: I stop deciding on Monday. By the time the market opens, the decision is already made.
I manage multiple funded accounts, $300,000 with FN and $400,000 with FTMO. If I let Monday be the day I figure out what to trade, emotions fill that gap immediately. So I removed the gap.
Here’s what my Sunday prep actually looks like:
✰ → Build the watchlist before the week starts.
Every pair on my watchlist earns its spot through criteria, not movement. If it’s not on the list, it doesn’t get my attention no matter the trader that just made $100K trading it.
✰ → I define confirmation before price starts moving.
Once price is live, it’s too easy to talk yourself into a setup that was never the plan. The conditions get set when I’m calm, not when I’m watching candles move.
✰ → I accept some pairs give nothing.
A watchlist is a list to monitor, not a promise to trade. No confirmation, no trade. I wait. I can go an entire week without seeing anything valid on a pair on my watchlist. This is normal.
✰ → Don’t rotate the plan mid-week.
Momentum will always show up somewhere. Chasing it means trading setups I never actually planned for.
This doesn’t guarantee a green week but it guarantees I’m not the reason for a red one.
Happy new week! ✰
