A winning mindset is at least as important to trading success as the strategies and tactics you deploy. But how much effort do put into developing a winning mindset?

Having a robust system or method for finding value, an appropriate philosophy to risk, a strong risk management practice, a thorough understanding of markets are all prerequisites for success. However, it is the combination of these factors allied to a winning mindset, which is where great performance occurs. This is the secret to success in financial markets. 

In this episode we chatted with Damian Hughes, one of the world’s leading experts on cultivating a high-performance mindset. Damian has worked with multiple Olympic medal winners, world champion boxers, and sports team such as Barcelona, Manchester United and the Scotland Rugby Team.
