Listen Later

Short-term trading moves fast—but without a long-term mindset, it often leads to burnout, overtrading, and inconsistency. 

This episode explores why sustainable success in short-term options trading depends on thinking far beyond individual trades. It introduces the concept of longtermism and explains how focusing on process, risk management, and systems can dramatically change outcomes.
