A Different Approach to Pre-Market Preparation

Hello, my friend, and welcome to this post on A Different Approach to Pre-Market Preparation.

Many traders focus their pre-market preparation on news, futures activity, global events, and rumors. While these can be helpful, my approach is entirely different. For me, preparing for the market is about preparing my mind, body, and spirit. The goal is to enter a calm, centered state of mind, so I can trade attentively and with awareness.

I hope you enjoy it!

A Different Approach to Pre-Market Preparation – Video

Connecting with Nature

Every day before the market opens, I take time to walk outside and immerse myself in nature. I watch birds, squirrels, and other animals, and simply listen to the natural sounds around me. This simple practice is incredibly healing and grounding.

I also make a conscious effort to expand my vision. An eye doctor once told me that people who work in offices often face mental challenges because their eyes remain fixated on short distances for too long. He recommended looking at distant objects every half hour—or at least once an hour. Not only is this good for your eyes, but it’s also refreshing for your mind.

Breathing and Presence

As I walk, I focus on my breath and practice mindfulness. I don’t dwell on the past or anticipate the future; I focus on the present moment. This helps me stay calm and centered.

When I approach trading, I aim to trade the market as it is—moment by moment. I don’t rely on past information to predict the future because market conditions can change in an instant. Instead, I prepare myself mentally to adapt to whatever unfolds.

The Importance of Presence

This practice isn’t about escaping reality; it’s about fully entering into it. Whether you’re surrounded by nature or in the middle of a bustling city, you can connect with the present moment. In the city, I would listen to the sounds of people, cars, birds, and even insects. Focusing on what is—rather than imagining or escaping—grounds you and prepares your mind for trading.

A Centered State of Mind

My pre-market preparation is all about self-preparation. I get myself into a calm, centered, and flexible state of mind. By practicing presence and going with the flow—just as nature does—I’m better equipped to trade effectively.

Try It for Yourself

This method has significantly improved my trading, and I encourage you to try it out for yourself. Whether you’re in nature or the city, focus on being present and centered. See if it works for you.
