Want to have a better year in 2019?

Fortunes aren't built in a day and there are 364 more days to go in 2019. It's a good time to break bad habits and build good ones so here are three friendly reminders.

1. Leave 2018 in the past

'Should old acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind?' - Old Lang Syne. Had a good year in 2018? Great, forget about it and focus on 2019. Had a bad year in 2018? Sorry to hear about it but everyone gets a fresh start at new year.

2. Get organized

Close the books, tidy up the loose ends. This year, track and document your trades better than ever. Adding a layer of paperwork can make you a more disciplined trader.

3. You're living in the stone ages, man

If you're not on top of the latest technology, you're behind. That doesn't mean you have to use technology to change your trading style because that could be counterproductive but knowing what's new and what's possible is a never-ending part of staying on top. At the very least, change your passwords and update your software. I also always use the first day of the year to tidy up my email and get ride of all the spam in my inbox.
