T hats my biggest issue, discipline, my strategy works over 80% of the times with a 1:1 ratio but getting enough sleep is my issue, i cant sleep early, i lay down but my eyes are like what are you doing?

[@jeradblazek677]

I do Scottish showers. Hot at the beginning and washing, cold for last few minutes before I get out. Invigorating it definitely is. Hate doing in the winter, but always feel great after I do it. Discipline my friends.

[@worldnewsandmotivation7102]

8th thing is to watch atleast one video of UKspreadbetting every day.

[@bravoelliot]

I used to love taking cold showers and would often challenge myself to take the temperature dial lower and lower every shower and would force myself to endure colder and colder showers. After researching it though it's been shown that repetitive cold showers can seriously lower your testosterone levels in men (this also causes depression) it also becomes very difficult to bulk up if your going to the gym, you may find that your progress plateaus as your constricting blood flow (as well as lowing testosterone). It's still a good exercise for discipline however. Any physical activity which tends to be unpleasant, but you force yourself to do it on a repeat basis will help develop your discipline. Every morning and evening I do 30 press-ups for discipline building alone, although it doesn't always transfer to my trading lol

[@nancyk5044]

Thanks for the tips Mark - good video!

[@KryptosChain]

You're really smashing it with these videos, Mark ! Great motivational ones.

[@mrdeeptruths]

I am currently at the training the discipline muscle stage. It's great to see lots of losing trades but still being profitable 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@okayranks]

THIS IS DEFINITELY ONE OF YOUR BEST VIDEOS

[@note-uq2ek]

Great advise. You're videos are all awesome.

[@khulekaniduma7158]

AMAZING. Cold Showers !!! That one came out of no where, but really its very important. Fellow traders i know you will want to get to all of these today and all together, but PLEASE do them 1 at a TIME, Master one or get relatively good at it and move on to the next, do the habit until its part of you, part of your OS

[@kirkarnold9023]

Thanks. Yes research has shown that exercise before learning increases learning ability. Taiwan and S. Korea have maintained exercise in school.

[@timur1muhammedov]

New design of videos is very good. especially the bullet points that are not only on a whiteboard but also on the screen. Thanks

[@absoluttchamp]

Great video... Have you ever thought about moving a bit to the left, and the text to the right? :D

[@useraboard]

The 7th thing you have said, cutting and limiting the use of social media and such things, is a part of conciousness and meditation, being aware of what we're doing, the moment itself , and yes , alot are not aware , awesome video , worth a great rest to improve dicipline ans mind-set haha

[@lombardo141]

I agree with the cold shower but not in the Winter....

[@KryptosChain]

lol

[@interestingiftrue8668]

finish with a cold rinse

[@Villian70]

You've hit the nail on the head there brother discipline is such a big part of successful trading. Love your openesss and relationship of common problems

[@recoverfromdrawdowns1272]

Helpful video. Not many traders realise the importance of trading discipline but your tips are good.

[@Fret-knot]

I'm disciplined with my trading. I like working out my brain and body before trading, but I draw the line at cold showers. 🥶

[@iliovininino]

What a great Video!!!! Cold Shower in the morning, the last minute of the hot shower is great!! Recently I've read a book regarding monastic discipline of Tibetan Buddist monks in old temples. You've gone through many of the things I learnt from that book in your video. I've been thinking trading as a meditation form since a while ago...It's such a great way to get to know yourself in very deep levels. I would add to your list, some meditation time... for me it's like rebooting my mind at the middle of the session. Great video, thanks a lot!!!

[@mredge247]

this is very big impact in trading improve ur self erverytihing analys ur self

[@jordanlio1723]

Cold showers are a daily reinforcement of your ability to overcome discomfort. Fully agree there !

[@rafaelandresantunez]

Great video. Great value. You guys got a better camera? I see the video quality improved

[@ukspreadbetting]

Yes, new much better camera since a year ago now.

[@Avital4414]

Brilliant video.

[@gabriel.casanas]

the hardest thing is sticking to it for long periods of times. There's days when you can do your routine easily, no effort whatsoever, but some days are incredibly hard, you don't even feel like walking out the door. If you do what you gotta do those days as well you are going to feel like you have full control of what happens in your life

[@ilovelaw2529]

Excellent video and thanks for making my trading better!

[@Jez768]

Very good list, so true about the cold showers. Been doing that and the wim hof method for ages! Never thought about it from a trading perspective. Everything revolves around discipline.

[@dnrfroad]

Thanks for all the good content Mark! Its easy to just see the trading part, but are you not in your best possible shape. Whats your expectations? Keep improving in all ways for great success 👍

[@thescallytrader]

Another amazing video with great advice.

[@TheVicdub]

cold showers...brrrrrrrr!!!!!

[@daveythehand4964]

Hell, this'll improve life, let alone trading. lol

[@useraboard]

Thanks

[@kimandrews6106]

Great post, .... it works!!

[@suhass139]

amazing content

[@unidentified6365]

I do think whatever u said is true.. it definitely makes sense..

[@el-sig2249]

Nothing on meditation?! Come on! You can't leave that out. Meditation is essential if you want to drop mediocrity and be truly disciplined in whatever field. Meditation, faith based or not, is essential!

[@WiseFoolTrades]

Thanks a lot for this video! Could you please do a video explaining the pros and cons of adding extra setups into your trading arsenal? Having too many is bad and having a single setup limits you slightly. How can we work out the sweet spot?

[@marketsqueezer]

I wake up 1:30PM and prepare and I never exercise. It’s working okay, but I stick to my rules.

[@mohammedch1658]

thank you

[@dakaodo]

That cold shower analogy. 100% on target. :D Totally applies to the feeling in the moment when you realize you're taking on risk in a trade. And again when a SL hits. I had to trade $2 stop losses in rapid succession and high volumes to acclimatize myself to this feeling. Also, I got this from other people who posted in forums like Forex Factory: I mostly put myself on forex/financial media blackout during the week. I only keep the economic calendar open for reference on when high impact news is scheduled, but I refrain from forming a directional bias or thesis based on it. This deliberately ignores building my experience in fundamental analysis, but I'm OK with that for now. Then on the weekends, I'll catch up on what people have been saying online.

[@dondappa7701]

Defo trying these. Especially the cold shower 1 😭😭🤣

[@richardmelkonian5681]

used to have a cold shower every morning before gym (before lockdown) made my best trades during that period. Actually starting to enjoy cold showers in the end.

[@lisemariecaron7498]

👆🏼Hard truth☝🏻

[@radosavmilosevic5063]

i don't have a water heater...

[@Mike34006]

Ill pass on the cold showers...sometimes i have too much discipline... haha!

[@PaliBanwait]

number 3 - I live in the middle east and the shower is piping hot by default! :-)

[@lancepheng]

Truth ? Do you make more off you tube or trading?! No BS, just an honest question. Your channel is great. Thank you ... I heard of a trader you tuber making $83k in the year.

[@Mike-ye8qv]

Make sure to leave a thumbs-up the dude takes cold showers aka he is crazy. he will hunt you down. LoL good video as always

[@AlejandroMenaRamirezdeArellano]

According to Hollywood movies, someone would think a trader is a fat guy in suit , with the tie loose, surrounded by drugs pills and booze, maybe two strippers in the room, gambling all the money in every trade. It’s more exciting than thinking a trader is a fit guy waking up early to do some yoga, read Robin Sharma’s books and prepare green tea before entering into the market. Expectations vs Reality

[@hanswilhelmlimbach8992]

you can train discipline by driving your car, and avoid go over the speed-limit that is often shown at speed-limit-signs

[@lcarltbmx6743]

I visit relatives in Mexico and HAVE to take cold showers every time. I really do hate it and if im home im not taking cold showers.

[@edexter97]

Someone like Doug Casey would recommend certain fiction titles as the basis for speculation. That's not quite as narrow as trading though.

[@juvenitto]

tactical comment

[@Mike-ye8qv]

Make sure your significant other knows about shrinkage before you start doing the cold shower bit. Just trying to save someone from some embarrassment

[@stesens]

Mark: if you put cold shower, which is great, we need to add then also Oatmeal. Free your gut make the difference for a free and sharp mind....

[@lecriminelroro]

Mark cmon do u do cold shower ?

[@moneyprintergobrr6501]

I don't get it. Why would anyone break their rules (unless it is a scenario not defined in those). Why would anyone get out too early or take devastating losses. Just makes absolutely no sense to me. Still an interesting video.
