One of the most frustrating parts of being a trader is having a day you can’t find anything you’d like to trade. I can tell you when I first started trading days like those were the worst for my account. Let’s go through some positive things to do on a slow trading day.One of the things I like to do is to go back and look at some daily charts and start looking for some swing trade ideas.

Look for stocks that are getting hammered and see if you can find any that are getting brought down for no reason. Also start to look at charts for possible reversal set ups for the up coming days.Do some research and watch some videos or retake some courses from the TTG library to refresh your memory. Another thing you might want to do is just go for a walk for a few minutes or get some work out to get the blood flowing. A lot of time on slow days a good set up will pop up after lunch or near the end of the day. We want to make sure that we are ready for these moves and not half asleep at our battle station. (battle station is what I call my screens).

Last thing to do is just turn off the computer and take a day off. Trading is all about being mentally ready. If you have problems finding stocks and just getting frustrated, turn off your computers and do some DD for the rest of the day . A lot of times this is the best advice. Trading is a stressful job and being mentally prepared is a must. Taking the day off and clearing your mind for the next day is the best option.

There are going to be slow days in the market, knowing what to do when these days come will save your account.
