What is a Pre-Market Routine?

Anyone that has played competitive sports at a higher level, knows the importance of consistent routine, because it builds Muscle Memory (MM), and the routine positively reinforces that MM. For example, the golfer works tirelessly in her routing addressing the ball prior to the swing, the 9-ball player, the archer, the batter in baseball, etc. It is apparent the success comes from perfecting your form, and the pre-XXX routine is a common tool among top performers. So, why not traders, shouldn't they also have such a routine before pulling the trigger?

What is your pre-market routine?

I'll be publishing a document soon and make it available for download in my Zach's Google Group, it will describe in detail the elements of an effective pre-market routine, for the Day Trader and Swing Trader styles. I'll also include an article I wrote for a prominent Pool magazine several years ago, that describes this routine in terms of the pool stroke. Yup, Zach is an A class 9-ball player.It doesn't have anything to do with trading, but it certainly illustrates the importance of a pre-routine.
