Create a Habit Loop and trade like a rat.

When scientists put a rat in a maze over time, they can

  1. Take a cue,
  2. Follow a routine and
  3. Reap a reward - like a piece of cheese

Before long, those dirty rats are racing through the maze with ease and having a nice piece of cheese as a reward..

We as traders can also create a habit loop. We should take a trading cue, follow a routine like buying or selling and reap the reward from the action.

Of course, in trading not all trades end in a profit (a reward), but if the loss is limited, can that not also be a reward. I think so.

In this video, going back to 2015, titled "To live like a king, trade like a rat", I talk about the habit loop and how we as traders can use it just like a rat to reap trading rewards..
