Greetings T, this is the prayer I say every morning before the open. I copied it for you right out of the first page of my Trading Plan.
âMy PRAYERâ
Lord, I ask for strength, courage, and guidance to again engage the risks and obstacles ahead of me this day.
I ask that you guide my hands as I ply my chosen craft towards mastery of my trading skill.
I ask for patience, persistence, and vision to execute with confidence, discipline, and professionalism.
I ask to only be guided by my own internal signals, based on my own game, knowledge, wisdom, and experience.
And when this day is done, I bid that you grant me the stillness of mind and spirit that comes with the knowing, that the effort I put forth, was the best of which I am capable.
Lord, it is not my will, but thy will be done.
Amen.
Its been a part of my Morning Routine from the start. It always creates a calm "Center of Focus" for me, which I then take directly to the screen. I had a similar "routine" I kept to while serving in the military, and it too engendered discipline.
And like Handle, I have a deep seated belief in a God. But I too don't give a tinker's damn about what man has done with religion.
