Most traders show up at the open and react.

The ones who actually make money already know exactly what they are doing before the market opens.

In this video, you'll discover:

- Why starting your morning with financial news is the wrong move — and what to look at instead
- The two questions you must answer before you ever touch a chart, and why skipping them is where bad trades are born
- How to set your entry and exit before the open so that when the most emotionally charged moment of the trading day arrives, you are executing a plan, not making decisions
- And why some mornings the right outcome of this routine is choosing not to trade at all

Twenty minutes of preparation eliminates an entire category of mistakes.

The traders who blow up accounts are not always making bad trades.

Most of the time they are making trades they were never prepared to make in the first place.

Here is the exact sequence that changes that.
