How to be a MORNING Trader
If you’re like me – Waking up isn’t easy.
In fact, most traders I know are in a committed relationship with their snooze button.
But if you do want to be a Morning person, you’ll just need a game plan.
Like in trading, success comes from preparation, discipline, and a little mental jiu-jitsu.
Let’s break down the exact strategy, straight from the MATI Trader playbook, to help you rise and shine.
🌙 1. Don’t Eat Late – Your Stomach Has a Schedule Too
Late-night pizza?
Tempting.
But here’s the truth: if your digestive system is still working overtime at 11 PM, your sleep quality goes downhill faster than a bad trade on NFP day. You know on the First Friday when you look at the Economic Calendar right?
When you eat late, your body is busy breaking down that food while you’re trying to rest.
And poor sleep = sluggish mornings.
Quick fix:
-
Eat your last meal at least 2–3 hours before bed.
-
Keep it light. Think soup, salad, or lean protein.
-
Avoid sugar like a sideways market (the Chop!) —deceptively sweet and potentially dangerous.
⏰ 2. Set Two Alarms – One to Wake You, One to Move You
You know – that first alarm is just the warm-up.
You need a second alarm—not just to wake up, but to remind you that it’s go time.
Think of it like a trailing stop for your morning routine.
The first one gets your attention, the second one gets you moving.
Here’s a pro tip:
-
Put the second alarm across the room.
-
Yes, you’ll curse at first, but you’ll thank yourself once you’re vertical
📝 3. Have a To-Do List Set for the Morning – Know Your First Trade
Ever sit down at your desk, coffee in hand, and wonder:
“What was I supposed to do again?”
That’s the mind of a trader without a morning blueprint.
Before bed, write out a simple, clear to-do list for the morning. Doesn’t need to be fancy. Just focused.
Morning list might look like:
~ Check overnight market news
~ Review key chart setups
~ Prep trade journal
~ Meditate or do self-hypnosis (It’s life changing)
It’s like placing pending orders—you know exactly what to expect, and your morning doesn’t trade you.
🥇 4. Remember the Main Prize – Why Are You Doing This?
Let’s face it: getting up early isn’t easy.
Why are you choosing the hard path?
Because the reward is worth it. And you’ll be proud of your disciplined approach to your financial freedom.
That’s your fuel. That’s your “main prize.”
Pro tip
Write it on a sticky note. Put it on your mirror, your trading screen, or next to your alarm.
Remind yourself daily: “I’m not just waking up—I’m showing up for my future.”
Let’s win the morning—and the day—together.
