How to develop decisiveness and quick reaction time?

[murray t turtle]

I am not sure how yoga or meditation will help you to think or react faster.

Meditation where you focus. Fix focus of mind[study, dont empty, mind, as eastern meditation does mind] , study say SPY if that is what you trade/invest. Focus like a sniper, helps in being decisive .Most of the money made in market may not be quick losses+ gains , some maybe. Good point

A computer is both decisive and quick.

Am too old to have enough memory or quick response, so automation way to go. In my prime, no problem, and it comes down to repeating same responses till it is ingrained into your soul, nothing is questioned, just responded. Am glad too old to do this manually, never enjoyed the trading part-but had to do it.

However, when I spot multiple opportunities during live trading, sometimes I get the "deer in the headlights" reaction and by the time I snap out of it the stock has already taken off without me in it.
Any suggestions or book recommendations are welcome.

I mean no (personal) offense.... but you're not cut out for this game.
Pretty blunt I know, but it is what it is. You won't believe me however.... and I know that too.
Either way... you'll be fine.

Success in day trading is all about precision and timing. However, when I spot multiple opportunities during live trading, sometimes I get the "deer in the headlights" reaction and by the time I snap out of it the stock has already taken off without me in it.
Besides more screen time and practice, I am looking for ways to improve my reaction time and decisiveness so I don't miss opportunities.
Any suggestions or book recommendations are welcome.

Also, practice visually optimizing your trading platform layout. Also do this with charts, scanners, and so on.

Try hot keys to see if you like them... try them on demo if you like.

Try teaming up with a good coder who trades and see if you can automate some things.

Try chatting privately with winners who you respect, as well.

I believe your deliberate thinking, questioning and practice will pay off for you in a big way.

For a savvy person: Pain plus reflectin often = progress.
