What does a millionaire trader's Sunday routine look like?

What does a millionaire trader's Sunday routine actually involve?

In the YouTube video "My Millionaire Sunday Routine," trader Rihari describes a four-part Sunday: strenuous exercise to reset his mindset, full technical chart analysis, fundamental news analysis checked against those charts, and a journaling review of the past week's discipline and mistakes.

Everything below is drawn from that single video. Rihari describes himself as a full-time day trader and, in the same video, reveals a Ford Mustang Shelby he says he bought as a personal reward for what he calls a disciplined year, not as evidence of a repeatable income or business result. He frames the purchase as a result of discipline and consistency, his own words, but the video does not attach a price, an account size, a win rate or any return figure to the car, so none of those numbers exist to report here. A purchase shown on camera is not an audited statement or a verified account balance, and readers should treat it the same way every other claim in this article is treated: as Rihari's own account of his year, not as independently checkable evidence of trading performance. Where a claim is his opinion, account or sales pitch rather than something independently checkable, this article says so plainly, using "Rihari says" or "the video says." Nothing here should be read as investment advice, a promise of returns, licensing information, or a typical-results claim.

The video itself is also a promotional piece: it closes with a call to subscribe, a discount code for a paid tool, and a reference to a "mentorship" Rihari says he runs, where he says he discusses this routine "all day." None of that is elaborated on in the video beyond the mention, and this article does not describe, price, or endorse that mentorship, since doing so would turn a personal Sunday-routine video into a business or licensing claim the source material does not support. The video is titled around the word "millionaire" and opens by revealing the car purchase before moving into the routine itself, which is the structure this article follows: what he says he does, in the order he says he does it, with the promotional and unverified parts flagged as they come up rather than folded into the routine as if they were separately confirmed facts.

Why does Rihari start Sunday with a hard physical walk?

Rihari says he does a difficult hike he calls "the Burly Hill" every Sunday before he looks at a single chart, because pushing his body hard resets his nervous system and gets him mentally ready for the trading week the video says is coming.

He describes the route as tough going up and over the hill, and says he does this specifically because it is hard, not despite that. His stated reasoning is that most people treat Sunday as a rest day, and he wants to use it to "put distance" between himself and traders who are doing nothing. He connects this directly to Monday's market open: in his account, skipping Sunday preparation leaves a trader reacting to a market that has already moved over the weekend on news like tariff announcements or geopolitical events, which he says creates FOMO (fear of missing out) and reactive decisions once trading resumes. This is presented in the video as his personal habit and belief about mental readiness, not as a scientifically validated trading technique or a guarantee of better trading outcomes. He is explicit that the walk comes before any screen time on Sunday, not after; in his account, the order matters because he wants his body, not his charts, to set the tone for the day, and only once that is done does he put on headphones, put on music, and move to the analysis stage of the routine.

How does Rihari mark up his charts for technical analysis?

Rihari says his Sunday technical work means opening every pair he trades and marking the current trading range, recent swing highs and lows, and any emerging trend structure directly on the chart before the week begins.

He says he only trades pairs directly correlated with the US dollar: EURUSD ("EU"), GBPUSD ("GU"), USD/JPY ("UJ"), GBP/JPY, and gold. He does not trade unrelated instruments. As a worked example in the video, he pulls up the EURUSD hourly chart and points to a sequence of lower lows and lower highs, a standard technical-analysis pattern that traders generally read as evidence of a downtrend, and notes he expects "another lower high" to form before price potentially continues lower. He also marks what he calls "internal bearish moves" on the chart, meaning shorter-term down-moves inside the broader range he has just identified. A "trading range" in his usage is simply the band of prices a pair has moved between recently, and a "swing high" or "swing low" is a local peak or trough in that price action, terms used generally across technical analysis rather than being specific to his method. This step is entirely about reading price structure; in his account, it happens before he looks at any news, so his technical view is formed independently of the fundamental picture he checks next, and he treats the two as separate inputs he later checks for agreement rather than one confirming the other automatically.

How does Rihari use fundamental analysis and AI tools like Market Edge?

Rihari says he then reviews an AI-based fundamental analysis subscription called Market Edge, checking its market-sentiment index, headline feed and economic calendar so he can compare the week's scheduled news against the technical bias he already marked up.

He discloses in the video that he has recently been asked to "partner" with Market Edge and gives viewers a discount code, so this is a sponsored or affiliate relationship as described in the video, not an independent review or verification of the tool's accuracy. With that caveat, here is what he shows: a sentiment reading he describes as "cautious optimism," a headline feed referencing tariff news (30% tariffs on EU goods, 35% tariffs on Canada, in his account) and an economic calendar for the coming week listing CPI on Tuesday, PPI on Wednesday, plus retail sales and a Michigan consumer sentiment reading. CPI (Consumer Price Index) and PPI (Producer Price Index) are standard, widely tracked measures of inflation; currency traders watch them closely because they can shift expectations for central bank interest rate decisions, which in turn move exchange rates. In the video, the tool's AI feature shows an estimated CPI figure above the previous reading, and Rihari interprets a higher figure as potentially dollar-positive, meaning potentially bearish for EURUSD and GBPUSD and potentially bullish for USD/JPY, in his own words. He then states explicitly that his goal is to check whether this fundamental read "aligns" with the technical bias from the previous step, not that the alignment guarantees any particular trade outcome. He is careful in the video to distinguish the tool's AI-generated estimate from an official government release: the actual CPI and PPI figures are published later in the week by US government agencies, and what Market Edge shows on Sunday, in his account, is a modeled estimate ahead of that release, not the confirmed number itself.

What role does journaling play in Rihari's Sunday reset?

Rihari says he closes his Sunday routine by re-reading the past week's trading journal entries, checking whether he stuck to his trading plan, and writing a short personal affirmation, treating any lapse in discipline, not the money lost, as the real lesson to fix.

He gives a specific example: a week where he says he departed from his own trading plan and immediately lost a trade on the Monday morning open, which he had referenced separately on his Instagram account before making this video. His stated takeaway was that "it wasn't the fact that losing the money was the big issue," but that he had broken his own discipline. From this, he draws a general claim that discipline produces consistency, and that consistency is what most traders say they want but rarely achieve because they skip the discipline step. That causal claim is Rihari's own opinion as stated in the video, not an independently established principle, and it is presented here only as his account. His journaling practice, as he describes it, involves writing how he felt before and after each trade, whether the trade matched his plan, and what he would change, then reviewing all of it every Sunday before setting one intention for the coming week. He also says that when he does not know what to write, the instruction he gives himself is simply to write anything, on the view that the habit of writing matters more on a given day than having a polished entry, though this too is presented as his personal method rather than a tested framework.

Sunday prep vs skipping it: what does Rihari say the difference is?

Rihari frames his Sunday routine as a direct trade-off: doing the physical, technical, fundamental and journaling work in advance versus opening the market on Monday with no plan, which he says produces reactive, fear-driven decisions instead of a prepared trading week.

The table below summarizes his claims from the video as his self-reported account of what each habit does for him. None of these outcomes are independently measured or verified; they are Rihari's description of his own process, offered here as a summary of the video rather than as a set of tested claims about what a Sunday routine does for any given trader.

| Sunday habit | What Rihari says happens | |---|---| | Hard physical walk before charts | Resets his nervous system and calms his mindset heading into Monday | | Marking up technical levels on every traded pair | Gives him a clear read on the trading range and swing structure before the market reopens | | Checking fundamentals against the technical view | Builds confidence that a trade idea is not contradicted by scheduled news | | Journaling and reviewing discipline lapses | Surfaces mistakes early so they are corrected before they repeat | | Skipping the routine (his account of the alternative) | Describes waking up to a market that has already moved, creating FOMO and reactive decisions |

What are the exact steps in Rihari's Sunday routine?

Rihari summarizes his own routine as four numbered steps in the video, and this article follows his order exactly, adding only the supporting detail he gives for each step earlier in the same video.

1. Move the body hard. He does a physically demanding walk or hike before looking at any chart, which he says resets his nervous system for the week ahead.
2. Complete technical analysis on every pair he trades. He marks the current trading range, recent swing highs and lows, and any emerging bearish or bullish structure on EURUSD, GBPUSD, USD/JPY, GBP/JPY and gold.
3. Run fundamental analysis and check it against the technical view. He reviews an economic calendar and an AI sentiment and headline tool (Market Edge, a disclosed paid partnership), then asks whether the fundamental picture supports or contradicts what the charts already show.
4. Journal and reset mindset. He re-reads the past week's entries, names any discipline lapse without dwelling on the money involved, writes a short affirmation, and sets one improvement target for the coming week.

He adds one ongoing rule that applies through the week rather than only on Sunday: if fundamentals shift materially, he says he reassesses and redraws both his charts and his fundamental view rather than trading a stale plan. He is also explicit about the order: technical analysis first, so his read of price structure is not colored by whatever headline he sees next, and fundamental analysis second, used to check that view rather than to generate it. Only after both steps agree, in his account, does he consider himself prepared to trade a pair the following week, and disagreement between the two is presented as a reason for caution rather than something he says he resolves in the video. He does not describe a rule for what happens when technicals and fundamentals point in opposite directions beyond flagging that scenario as one to watch for and reassess, so this article does not invent a resolution he does not give.

What do independently verified statistics say about retail trading risk?

Separate from Rihari's personal Sunday routine, two independently published sources describe the risk and scale of the market he trades in, and neither one comments on his personal results, which are not disclosed in this video.

Regulator data on Australian retail traders shows this is a market where most participants lose money over a full financial year: the ASIC Report 828: Risky business records that 68% of Australian retail CFD investors lost money in the 2024 financial year. Separately, central-bank data shows the scale of the market itself: the BIS 2025 Triennial Survey reported average daily OTC foreign-exchange turnover of US$9.6 trillion in April 2025. Together, these two facts give useful context for anyone watching a personal Sunday-routine video: the market is enormous and highly liquid, and the documented base rate of outcomes for Australian retail CFD traders as a group is that most lose money in a given year. Neither fact supports or contradicts Rihari's own results, since he does not publish account statements, audited performance figures or a defined track record in this video. A disciplined weekly routine, as he describes his own, is a behavioral habit he attributes his own consistency to; it is not evidence against the loss rates ASIC documents for the broader retail CFD population. ASIC is the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, the regulator that supervises Australian retail CFD and margin FX providers, and Report 828 is its own published review of that sector's outcomes over the 2024 financial year, covering the population of Australian retail accounts as a group rather than any single trader by name. The BIS, the Bank for International Settlements, is an international body owned by central banks that runs the triennial survey as the standard reference for the size of the global OTC (over-the-counter) foreign-exchange market, meaning trading conducted directly between parties rather than on a centralized exchange, which is the same general market structure that retail CFD and forex trading sit within. Both figures describe the trading environment around Rihari's routine; neither one is a statement about his individual account, and this article does not combine or extrapolate them into any claim about his personal results.
