Write down every trading mistake for a week, then use Toyota's 5 Whys technique to find the root cause of each one. Most traders find a handful of recurring errors, and fixing the biggest one usually improves their whole performance.
we ask our traders for one week, write out the mistakes that you make at the end of the day. And then we adopted this process from, I think Toyota was the original people to do it. And I don't know, have you ever heard of the 5 Whys? You take this, these mistakes, and at the end of a week of making them, you probably have them down into a pattern of maybe 2 or 3 actual big mistakes. And if you're tracking them over a week, you're starting to see the same ones over and over. So you then prioritize, okay, what's the number one mistake that if I fix this, I can move forward in my trading?
