Radhey

Professional trading starts before the first entry.

A simple pre-market routine can help you approach the market with a clear plan.

Before trading:

1. Check the economic calendar.

2. Mark previous day high and low.

3. Identify major support and resistance.

4. Review higher-timeframe market structure.

5. Define your maximum daily risk.

6. Decide which setups you are willing to trade.

Key takeaway: Preparation reduces unnecessary decisions during live trading.

    Before opening the charts, checking the economic calendar is usually the first step to ensure no high-impact news events are about to disrupt the session.

    Having a solid pre-market routine is especially vital when trading with a prop firm. Defining your maximum daily risk ahead of time helps protect you against strict daily loss limits and drawdown rules, keeping emotions in check when live markets get volatile.
