Different conditions warrant different expectations.
Of realistic expectations. Of the market you see and the YOU who showed up.
Impatience is the gap between expectations, present market conditions and the SELF.
Expectations derive from influences internal and external to the SELF.
Movement shifts energy. With intention it may ground and calm the system. Often the body settles faster than the mind.
Start with a forward fold. Let the head hang heavy and feel the weight go down through the feet. Then roll up slowly, one vertebra at a time.
Follow the sequence from toe to head.
All of it works from the chair. Follow along live, or move at whatever pace your body asks for.
Four counts in. Eight counts out. Then stillness for the rest of the minute.
The remainder is the practice. During different times the urge to fill the silence and calm may reveal itself.
Observe what arrives in the additional space. Let it float on by without attachment or judgement.
Yourself first, so the market stays out of the reading.

Have the list ready before you need it. Five things worth your time when the screens are the wrong place to be.
A patient self aware trader is one whose expectations match their market conditions.
