Improve focus and intensity (chair)

Hello traders, how are you?

Today i would like to give a quick tip about something that helped me to trade better and to keep a good focus and intensity during the day. You will think that the idea is crazy but it helped me a lot. 

I used to have a very comfortable chair, a very expensive one, and i thought it was very good for me, but it wasn't. I can be 50 % more productive with a cheap chair as long as it is good for your back and its not very very comfortable the way you would not sleep. One thing that i learned some time ago is that one of the ways to change your mental state is the way you use your body physically. For example. That expensive and very comfortable chair made me very comfortable, so, i would have a very comfortable mental state, and my attention would be in "comfortable mode", rather than "alert mode".

For the people that say, "oh you need a very good chair that is very very comfortable because you will have back pain soon or later" i would recommend doing more physical exercise that includes back exercises. One hour/day at least. 

Good trades guys and try the idea.

Strategy to keep intensity and focus all day

Hello guys,
I read this strategy on a trading book about financial markets.

The author suggests having a deck of cards and while we are analyzing markets, shuffle the cards and we will maintain the focus. Just like poker players moving chips. Its like  a routine to keep the focus.

Time management system

Hello guys, today i would like to share a simple time management system that i use on a daily basis for tasks that require some focus. It's very popular and it's great for someone that needs to get a lot of things done.
The system's name is "The pomodoro technique" and its basically setting a kitchen timer or software timer and just focus on that task till the timer expires, make a small break and start again doing another task for the same activity or another activity. On the website they provide the system and the sheets of the daily "to do lists" and activities. The idea of the system is really nice because when you have a deadline for something your mind usually focus on that very well. Try it.

Organizing your ideas

Hello guys, today i would like to talk about a simple software that offers a good database for your ideas and notes instead of creating 1000 files for each one of your ideas and you can do a lot more using it. I use it a lot and it's great to organize notes. If you dont want to upload the notes to the servers, i recommend you to create a local notebook on the software.
You can find it at https://www.evernote.com/.

Set price limit

Hello guys, today i would like to give you one idea to develop your tennis trading that i am still developing. Its about set price limits. For example , in the match of the image, What price Do you think cetskova would have if she lost the first set. She started 1.30's i would say maybe 2 or a bit more, and what if she reached this price during the set? Yes the idea is to get advantage of having a position in the best player and expect him to recover knowing that the price will not go against us a lot but can go in our side a lot, and thats the most probable scenario because players start very slow sometimes and recover after some time. In that match cetskova was +2 with the score 3.1 and some points (cant remeber) for brianti in the first set. She recovered and won the set.
Using this trading style, it's important to have clear exit points and you need some experience to know when the price has value like in this situation.

Tennis trick - Injured player retiring after first set completed

Hello guys, today i would like to talk about a situation that we can take advantage. It happens when there is a possibility of one player retiring in the end of the first set. In this case we can back the other player with an additional stake expecting for a retirement. If he doesnt retire we can lose one or two ticks or sometimes win one or two depends on the market and if the market has a decent liquidity, and in the best cases you can win more then 20 ticks. I already won more then 20 ticks more then one time just covering the possibility of one player retiring. Notice that this doesn't happen everyday, so, you will have to wait  a lot of time for one situation like this.

Pattern that happens right before Grandslams

This pattern happens a lot of times in the matches before grandslams. The best players will not play 100 % because they will not risk injuries so you have to be careful backing them and look more for value trades, but be careful because going against a favorite can cost a lot of €, so, plan it or just risk with your profit when your intuition says there is a chance, not a simple chance, a GOOD chance.
