Topics we Cover:
- I’ve heard you say that the odds of successful trading are stacked against you. What makes you say that?

- I like your thoughts about closing the behavioural gap between theoretical perfect performance and where that trader is situated in terms of their actual performance. You’ve said Performance = Potential less Interference. Tell me more about this.
- I know that one of your coaches mentioned that family traumas can go back 7 generations and they get passed onto you. How does this impact a trader?
- A lot of traders have trouble letting go and achieving mental closure. Why is it a problem for traders, and what can we do as traders to get closure?
