Focus in trading is not staring harder at the screen. It is being in the one state where your judgement actually works, and a trading meditation for focus is how you get back there on demand.<\/p>\n

The idea I keep coming back to is the line. It comes from Tom Hougaard in his book Best Loser Wins, and once you have felt it, you notice the moment you drift off it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

What the line actually is<\/h3>\n
\n

The line is a flat, awake, level state. You are alert but not urgent. You can see the chart without the chart pulling you around.<\/p>\n

Above the line you get urgency and greed, the part of you that wants to size up and chase. Below it you get fear and hesitation, the part that skips the setup you planned to take. Your best decisions come from the line itself.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

FIND THE LINE<\/span><\/p>\n

Above it is greed and urgency, below it is fear and hesitation, and your real edge lives on the line.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Watch the line<\/div>\n
Above it: greed and urgency. Below it: fear. The line is where judgement works.<\/div>\n
