Routine or ritual? The things that you do might feel good, but not actually effect your P&L. That doesn't mean they are bad, but it's a good idea to keep a journal on your activities so that you can measure their efficacy. Why? Time and energy. Physical and emotional economics. Your trading career is summed up by your trading P&L but also what you need to experience in order to achieve those results - regardless if the P&L is positive or negative.
