A trader explains why writing down your trading plan matters for consistency. The speaker, drawing on experience as a quality assurance manager, shows how documenting your system changes how you execute it and what results you get.
You're going into the markets with knowns and that's why writing things down is super important for consistent output out of a process which trading is some you're doing over and over again and that's why the wisdom is there Document your system. So it's not always an easy thing though to document it well I mean again I'm a quality assurance manager this was at the heart of my job was working with people had 183 people I was responsible for to get over seven different departments, four different shifts to get consistent performance to best practices out of everybody. So this is something that again I was able to bring from my quality job to trading and it's. That's what allowed me to turn my trading around and really get a solid hand line. So I want to teach other traders and it can work for you and the funny thing about it is writing down your system a lot of times it is way tougher than people think because it's not something we're taught how to do.
