1. 0:00Now the beginning of the day is the most
2. 0:03important part of my trading and doing
3. 0:05what I'm about to tell you every morning
4. 0:07before the session is a huge reason that
5. 0:09I've been able to pull about $50,000 in
6. 0:11payout so far in 2026 from prop firms.
7. 0:14Now most traders don't actually lose
8. 0:17because they can't predict the market.
9. 0:19They lose because once the session
10. 0:21actually opens, decision quality starts
11. 0:23collapsing drastically. Price starts
12. 0:25moving fast, emotions get involved and
13. 0:28bias changes every 5 minutes and now
14. 0:30they're just reacting candle to candle
15. 0:31with no actual structure. And that's why
16. 0:33it's crucial and it's important to go
17. 0:36into every session with a trading plan.
18. 0:38Not because the plan is necessarily
19. 0:40going to guarantee that you're right,
20. 0:42but the plan removes as much decision
21. 0:44making as possible once the market
22. 0:46actually opens. Before the session
23. 0:48starts, I want to be able to know what
24. 0:51my bias is, where I'm interested in
25. 0:53actually trading and where my idea for
26. 0:55the day becomes invalidated and what
27. 0:57conditions would make me have to adjust.
28. 0:59Because a bias without invalidation is
29. 1:02just an opinion. Our goal here is not to
30. 1:04go into the market trying to prove
31. 1:06ourselves right. We have to go into this
32. 1:08thinking exactly what could potentially
33. 1:09prove us wrong. So for example, if price
34. 1:12accepts beyond my level or if structure
35. 1:15shifts, if the auction changes, then I
36. 1:17have to adjust. There's no revenge
37. 1:19trading, there's no emotional attachment
38. 1:21to a plan and there's no forcing the
39. 1:22original idea because my ego wants it to
40. 1:25work. The point of the plan is not
41. 1:27prediction. The point is structure
42. 1:29because if you wait until the market is
43. 1:31moving a million miles an hour to figure
44. 1:32out what you think, you're already
45. 1:34behind. And I talked to a lot of traders
46. 1:37who for whatever reason go into New York
47. 1:40open on the indices without a plan. They
48. 1:42just open the charts and start trading.
49. 1:44It is so important to map out your day
50. 1:47beforehand and I do this every single
51. 1:49morning before I trade.
