A trader needs to think quickly and make good decisions under duress. I was wondering what supplements and other techniques might be out there to assist with a better focus.
I use the following everyday which, to be honest, I dont know if it works, but dont think it can hurt:
- At least 1 mile of running in the morning followed by pushups, knee bends and situps. Followed by a quick afternoon session of running, pushups and situps.
- Fish oil, folic acid, SAM-E, multi-vitamin and St. John's Wort. Calciumated orange juice and a big breakfast.
- Keeping the window open to allow for fresh air in the room or keeping the room at a lower temperature then what you are normally comfortable with..i.e. 67 degrees.
- A high quality office chair that is comfortable to sit in for 8 hours.
- Seperating yourself from anything that might interupt you. Turning off the cellphone. Turning off television. etc...
What do you do for a better focus and overall mental health while trading?
