Build a CFD Trading Routine in 20 Minutes a Day
For many CFD traders, consistency and discipline matter more than screen time. A structured daily routine can help you trade effectively in as little as 20 minutes per day.Step 1: Define Your Window (3 minutes)Pick a consistent trading window when your instruments are active:
- Forex CFDs: Session overlaps (Tokyo–London, Asia–Europe).
- Crypto CFDs: Often most volatile during Asia–Europe or Asia–US overlaps.
- Stock Index CFDs: Strongest activity after market opens.
Step 2: Quick Market Check (5 minutes)Review key factors before trading:
- Economic calendar for high-impact news.
- Charts for trends and technical levels.
- Market depth for liquidity signals.
Step 3: Watchlist & Risk (7 minutes)
- Keep a focused watchlist of 5–8 CFDs.
- Risk only 1–2% per trade with clear stop-losses.
- Aim for a 1:2 risk-to-reward ratio.
- Avoid overexposure by checking correlations.
Step 4: Trade or Plan (5 minutes) If conditions align, enter trades with defined stops and targets. Otherwise, set alerts and prepare for the next session.
