In the first installment of our newest limited series with Rich Friesen of Mind Muscles Academy, we’re taking aim at improving our trading psychology. Join us as we discuss why psychology is so important to successful traders and how we can begin to measure and understand its effects on our results. Rich also explains how to take inventory and track our mentality by using S.E.T. (Sensations, Emotions and Thoughts) scores and explains the difference between lousy and lucrative trades. We welcome everyone to follow along with the homework assignments and look forward to the opportunity to learn from one of the best!
If you have a question to submit for next month’s episode, email it to [email protected] or post it in our Discord.
