Sometimes the markets make us yell, stomp, sweat, and jump up and down… when clearly a more rational approach might give us a calmer way to approach it all.
Trading can make you sick to your stomach… if you don’t get a grip on how to handle your emotions.
Trading is more like a marathon than a sprint. If you burn yourself out with emotional outbursts and freaking out – you won’t go the distance.
Two traders using the exact same trading system can end up with completely different results.
It all boils down to how they think about money, the markets, and themselves.
And guess what? We can pick up valuable lessons not just from fellow traders but also from the exciting world of high-performance psychology.
This revealing interview with Dr. Kay Bretz and Louise Bedford will get you questioning the core of productivity, resilience, and what it means to apply yourself to a specific goal.
