Quick Tip: Be proactive, not reactive.
With 40+ million copies sold and a release date in 1989 you’re likely to have read Stephen Covey’s “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.” If not, do it now. It is excellent and timeless advice.
Habit #1 says be proactive, not reactive. With so many different styles of trading, you know there are strategies that you can “set and forget,” and strategies that require real-time scrutiny. Proactive vs. Reactive.
Our team of traders do both because we run 5 different strategies (plenty to pick from… sometimes it’s like Thanksgiving dinner). Our volume profile, supply/demand, and SPX strategies can be “set and forget.” Our volatility reversal and intraday trend strategies require attention.
OK, so if Covey is correct and we should be proactive why do we trade any “reactive” strategies? Two answers: One, they have edge, they work. Two, we KNOW what to do with our “waiting” time. Anticipate, look for confluence, research, documentation, review, push-ups, lunges, squats… you get it.
Covey’s advice is meant to be interpreted. For traders with a strategy requiring attention, be PROACTIVE in your waiting time.
