The Importance of Daily Trading Goals
Major props to the excellent traders and management at Kershner Trading, who were willing to spend a Saturday with me to work on their performance.
One very simple topic I discussed with the newer traders was having a concrete goal for each day of trading and a way of reviewing your performance at the end of the day to see if you reached your goal.
Setting a goal each day creates learning loops that improve you significantly over time.
Setting daily goals also keeps your head in the game, reinforcing your positive learning even during days and weeks where you're not making money.
Day after day of setting and reaching goals builds confidence and helps you internalize a sense of competence.
If you don't have goals and specific areas of performance you're working on, with concrete feedback to tell you how you're doing, how will you get to that next level of performance?
It's amazing how small changes compound into large ones when they become part of your daily experience.
