<\/span>Trading Meditation Series<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

This is the question I get more than any other about trading meditation, and the honest answer disappoints people who want a big number. It should be short. 5 to 10 minutes is plenty.<\/p>\n

The instinct is that more must be better, that a serious trader should sit for an hour. In practice that instinct is exactly what kills the habit before it starts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Why 5 to 10 minutes wins<\/h3>\n
\n

A short session you actually do every day beats a long one you manage twice and then quietly drop. The benefit comes from the repetition, not the duration.<\/p>\n

You are training a small skill, catching your attention when it drifts and bringing it back. You get plenty of those reps in 5 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

CONSISTENCY OVER DEPTH<\/span><\/p>\n

Ten short sessions this week do more for your trading than one long session you never repeat.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
