In this episode of Mental Capital, I share a personal story about grief, trading, and the quiet ways we try to find control when life feels out of control. Inspired by a scene from the show Blindspot, we explore how trading can become a coping mechanism—and how to recognize when the need for control is sabotaging your performance. This one’s from the heart.

Takeaways:

• Why so many traders crave control more than profit

• How unprocessed emotions sneak into our trading habits

• A simple practice to shift from control to trust

Whether you’ve struggled with overtrading, holding too long, or chasing setups just to feel “in charge”—this one’s for you.
