Sharpen Your Edge for 2026 – Part 4: How Traders Actually Support Progress

Over the last few days I’ve shared a short series of reflections on reviewing a trading year, planning properly, and avoiding drift as we head into 2026.

The final piece looks at something practical:

Once you’ve reviewed and planned, how do you actually support progress?

Most traders don’t struggle because they lack knowledge. They struggle because discipline fades and habits return under pressure.

I’ve written a final short piece outlining the different ways traders choose to support progress — from group accountability to focused 1-to-1 work.

As with the rest of the series, no selling — just something to help you think clearly as the year comes to a close.

Over the last couple of days I’ve shared a few thoughts on reviewing your trading year and the cost of skipping that step.

Today’s follow-up question is a simple one:

Do you actually have a plan for how you’re going to operate in 2026?

Most traders mean well, but try to plan forward without properly reviewing what’s worked, what hasn’t, and why. That usually leads to confidence built on guesswork rather than clarity.

I’ve written a short piece on why planning often fails — and what actually helps as traders prepare for a new year:

I also mention a one-off 1-to-1 Trader Development Session for those who want help creating a clear plan for 2026, without committing to ongoing coaching.

No selling — just options.

Following on from yesterday’s note about reviewing your trading year, I wanted to share a second short piece.

One of the most common patterns I see is traders having versions of the same year.

Different markets.
Different instruments.
But the same frustrations.

Not because they aren’t capable — but because they never properly review what actually caused their results.

Skipping review doesn’t usually lead to dramatic failure.
It leads to something quieter and more expensive: drift.

I’ve written a short follow-up on this today for anyone who wants to reflect before 2026 begins:

As before — no selling. Just something worth thinking about at this time of year.

Sharpen Your Edge for 2026 – Part 1: Have You Actually Reviewed 2025?

As we head into the final working week of 2025, I’ve been reflecting on something I see a lot with traders.


Most people remember their trading year.
Very few actually review it.


They recall a few good trades, a tough drawdown, maybe a period where things felt better or worse — but they never step back and assess how they operated as a trader over the year as a whole.


That matters more than most people realise.
