Hey Traderpreneur!

HEALTH🧠💪

In regular trading day filled with excitement, yet something felt off – a feeling I couldn't quite shake 🤔 until I uncovered a revelation that reshaped everything.

🍬 A Sweet Discovery

As I navigated through my daily trades, a persistent anxiety lingered, clouding my decision-making.

It was like wading through murky waters, unsure of my next move. Little did I know, the culprit behind this mental fog was hiding in plain sight – sugar.

🌟The Turning Point

One fateful day, amidst the chaos of trading, I stumbled upon a fascinating insight: the profound impact of sugar on mental clarity and focus.

The numbers were staggering – The average adult consumes about 77g of Added sugar daily, almost 20 teaspoons🤯. 

This revelation sparked a lightbulb moment, prompting me to reassess my dietary habits and their influence on my trading prowess.

Healthy Sugar vs. Sneaky Added Sugar

There are two sugar players on the stage:

1. Natural sugar: Found in fruits and vegetables like apples, mangos, Carrots.

2. Added sugar: Sneaks into processed foods – think soft drinks, snacks, chocolates, and pizza. Beware! Excessive added sugar can throw off your mental trading groove.

Added sugar has a sneaky way of making food taste irresistibly good, creating what scientists call "hyper-palatability." It hits a "bliss point" where food becomes a reward for our brains, making it hard to hit pause on snacking.

it's time to be mindful of our diets isn’t?

🚫 SUGAR-FREE TRAPS

Hold on, we're not done with the sugar saga yet! Not all foods are created equal, and the way they affect our sugar intake varies.

Don't be fooled by sugar-free or low-sugar fizzy drinks and snacks. Some use tricks to enhance taste without adding sugar, like Maltodextrin, a complex Carbohydrate which turns into pure glucose in the body. Other culprits include fake fibers, artificial sweeteners, and sugar alcohols.

The term "bliss point" is crucial here, as it impacts the three types of food:

1. Unprocessed Food: Think meat, chicken, and eggs.

2. Processed Food: Canned beef, butter.

3. Ultra-processed food: soft drinks, pizza, cakes, snacks. Some ultra-processed foods are okay, like whey protein and dark chocolate.

But too much of those with added sugar can lead to 'glucose dysregulation,' affecting our sugar levels in the body.

🧠SUGAR'S IMPACT ON YOUR TRADING & BUSINESS

1. Anxiety Alert: Excessive added sugar has been linked to an increased risk of anxiety. When your body struggles to regulate sugar levels, stress hormones like cortisol may kick in, making you hesitant to enter or close a trade.

2. Cognitive Crunch: Too much added sugar can fog up your thoughts and memory. Applying a trading strategy might feel like trying to use a EURUSD strategy on Bitcoin without even realizing it! Sometimes you won’t see other confluences.

⏰ Timing Is Everything

Let's break down the clock and see how it influences our trading game:

1. Pre-Market Trading Hours: From 4:00 am to 9:30 am New York Time, it's all about gearing up for the market action.

2. Active-Trading Hours: The real deal happens from 9:30 am to 4:00 pm New York Time. Stock market opens, news coming in, more volatility. This is prime time for us traders to shine!

3. After-Hours Trading Hours: Even after the closing bell rings, there's still volatility from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm New York Time. But remember, it's like the bonus round – proceed with caution! news coming in like the FOMC, Speeches.

We keep it simple and stick to trading during the Active-Trading Hours. Here's our playbook:

Monday to Thursday Routine: We're at the chart 15 minutes after 9:30 am, ready to pounce on opportunities.

If we enter a trade, we hold onto it until 5 minutes before the After-Hours Trading ends 8:00pm.

But we call it a day around 11:30 am if we didn’t enter a trade.

During this window the “Active-Trading Hours”, we're laser-focused on finding that golden opportunity.
