The One Hack to Cut Out Trading Noise
& Stay Focused
How to Filter Out Distractions and Lock In
on What Moves the Needle
Noise isn’t just indicators cluttering your chart.
It’s the endless YouTube thumbnails, opinions, and clickbait titles designed to pull you in.
“How I Made $XXXK in an Hour Using This One Trick!”
“The Secret Indicator No One Talks About!”
Yawn…
But we’ve all fallen into the content rabbit hole… only to realise hours later that we’ve learned nothing useful. Or if we did it’s not actually relevant to our trading right now.
So, how do you cut through the noise and focus on what actually moves the needle?
Here’s a simple tactic to try:
THE MONTHLY THEME STRATEGY
At the start of the month, decide on one key area to focus on.
It could be operational:
Holding trades longer Trading bigger size Testing a new strategy
It could be psychological: Reducing FOMO Eliminating revenge trading Mastering discipline
Or even curiosity-based: How hedge funds operate The biggest market moves in history Understanding options pricing
Here’s how it works:
Once you pick your theme, every single piece of content you consume must align with it.
That means…
No random gold scalping tutorials No getting sucked into the latest strategy videos No scrolling X for market drama
Instead…
You filter out the noise You absorb content that actually helps you progress You train your brain to stay laser-focused on solving one problem at a time
And if you come across a video, podcast, or article that looks interesting but isn’t aligned with your theme?
No problem. Bookmark it. Save it for later.
But today? You’re locked in. Nothing derails your focus.
In a noisy world, it’s worth a try…
