What Is a Trading Plan? (And Why Most Traders Don’t Actually Have One)

You’ve probably heard this before: “You need a trading plan.” And if you’re like a lot of traders I talk to, you might be thinking: “I have one… kind of.” “I know my setups in my head, that counts, right?” “I wrote something down once, but I don’t really follow it.” Most traders think they

They Don’t Have to Get It — You Just Have to Trade It

All right, so something funny happened when I was cooking dinner the other night that irritated me in the moment, but it’s a good reminder for your trading. I was making pasta — specifically mushroom ravioli. My husband walked by as I was beginning to prep, looked into the pot, and said:“Whoa, that’s a lot

The Best Trading Courses for All Levels

What ‘Best’ Really Means in Trading Education People often ask me, “What’s the best trading course?”And the truth is — there isn’t just one. What matters most is finding the next right step for where you are right now. If you’re not sure what level you’re at — that’s okay. Here’s how I help traders

ES Futures Forecast: Why I’m Watching for a Push Toward 6154 by June 6 | Mon Jun 2, 2025

The date was Friday May 23. I’d been monitoring my daily charts, refining with the 60-minute, and watching the E-mini S&P 500 futures that I trade expecting them to form a tradeable low. And futures did just that, creating a low on May 23 that’s still in place! From there, futures traded up into last

Day Trading vs Swing Trading: Pros, Cons, and Best Practices

If you’re trying to decide between day trading and swing trading, that question comes up more often than you’d think. I’ve had this conversation with so many traders — both beginners and those with experience — who feel pulled between the two. They ask, “Should I be in and out quickly? Or hold for a

The Power of the Pause in Your Trading

When it comes to trading psychology, we often think about mindset, discipline, and emotion management. But there’s one simple tool I’ve leaned on for years — both as a trader and a teacher — that often gets overlooked. It’s the pause. And no, I don’t mean a break-the-computer, walk-away kind of pause (though sometimes we

How Noticing Your Small Wins Can Transform Your Trading Mindset

I’ve been on a personal training journey for over two years now. In the beginning, I was lifting light weights, with limited range of motion. But two years in, I can see the changes in my body. It’s easy to notice the progress when you zoom out — six months, a year. But it’s the

Side Door Coaching: Sharpen Your Trading Just by Listening

What Is Side Door Coaching? Ever learned something that wasn’t even meant for you — but it stuck? That’s the power of side door coaching. Not every HimaReddy Trading coaching session has to start with a question directly from you. Sometimes, the most valuable moments come when you’re just listening — hearing another trader ask

Keys to Finding High-Probability Trade Setups

We all want cleaner trades, more confidence, and less noise. But the truth is, high-probability trading setups don’t just show up on your chart — they’re identified by building structure into your analysis and knowing how to layer your tools the right way. When price action, timing, and momentum work together, the difference is clear:

Trade Better with Clean Price Charts

Stop second-guessing your trades and start seeing setups with clarity. If you’ve ever opened your trading platform and found yourself staring at a screen packed with indicators, trendlines, and old analysis, your price charts might be working against you. Clean price charts can shift that experience entirely—giving you faster decisions and greater confidence. For many

The Trading Trifecta: 3 Core Data Points That Guide My Market Decisions

Traders often fall into the trap of believing more is better—more indicators, more tools, more complexity. In my experience, the real edge comes from narrowing your focus.
