How do you plan out your week?

I’m trying to get in a better rhythm with my trading and learning. How do you guys handle your week? Like do you do prep work, reading, looking at charts?

I feel I’m just a little disorganized. I need some structure. Any suggestions?

To bring trading rhythm, you should set aside specific times for prep work, like analyzing charts and reviewing market news. Dedicate days for reading educational material or trading psychology. Consider a weekly review of your trades to learn from successes and mistakes.

As for me, I trade crypto and have the following schedule:

Morning > work on my projects
Afternoon > spend time learning new thing in trading
Evening > thanks for Crypto market is available for 24h I trade. Trade small.

The most important thing is sleep. You have to sleep well in order to be efficient through the whole day.

Hope it helps.

I like to trade in morning and then do my project work after that for my company. My working hours are flexible.

I usually set aside specific days for prep work, like reviewing charts and analyzing market trends. I also dedicate time to reading trading books or articles to deepen my knowledge. Creating a weekly schedule with clear goals can help you stay organized. Maybe try starting with a trading journal to track your progress and refine your strategy. Structure can definitely boost your confidence and effectiveness!

Create a trading plan that works for your schedule. Everyone has a different calendar. Base your trading around your availability and what works for you. Eventually if you are good enough, you may be able to trade full time. But for now, at least at the start, trade only during windows that work for you.

For some people this means evenings, mornings, or lunch breaks. Especially if they have a full time job to attend to. Pay attention to when the market is most liquid too, that is always a good time to schedule a trading session.

I’ve found that some simple habits go a long way, like setting clear goals, sticking to a solid risk management plan, and using a mix of technical and fundamental analysis to stay balanced. Plus, keeping emotions in check and learning from past trades—wins and losses alike—can really turn the tables in your favor.

Are you guys trading every day? I don’t have so much time to watch the charts all day. That’s why I want that structure. I live in the eastern time zone US, and can’t trade until after work. I think I might have to swing or position trade.

Anybody doing something similar?

Good idea!

So maybe like Sunday or Monday for analyzing? What are you looking at as part of that?

For me it goes like this,
Morning → Work
Afternoon → Learn new things/expand knowledge
Nighttime → Trade in markets (different timezones help)

Ha. I can relate to feeling disorganized so I’m following this topic too! Looking forward to seeing more tips!
