The traditional model of discipline may have limitations.

I have seen many traders lose out on P&L by being too disciplined.

What is the alternative?

Discipline 2.0 – a combination of committed action, traditional discipline, but with an element of flexibility, of fluidity.

In this episode I discuss trading discipline 1.0, present a case for 2.0 and share four key factors that I believe are key to maximising market returns.

From the early days of my work with traders I have heard many times from clients the desire to be able to trade without emotion, but the research into the brain and decision making suggests that this would not be a desirable goal for traders.

In this episode we look at the role that emotions play in traders decision making, the latest neuroscience research around the brain and decision making.

I share with you a 3-step process for working with your emotions more effectively.

In this episode we look at our human aversion to uncertainty and why being able to manage uncertainty effectively is key to achieving your trading potential.

I share several practical strategies to help you to manage uncertainty more effectively within your own trading including changing your mental framework and a paradoxical technique of ‘planned uncertainty’.

Losses and losing runs happen to all traders no matter how good they are – they are a feature of trading the markets, a part of the game. However, some traders are better at taking and dealing with their losses than others, and how you deal with your losses can have a big impact on your trading results both in the short-term, in that trade, and over time. In this episode we look at the psychology of losing, and I share some practical strategies that can help you to manage your losses more effectively.

In this episode we are going to take a look at what I feel is one of the core psychological challenges facing traders, and one which underpins many of the common decisions errors such as running losses, taking profits early and not pulling the trigger, that traders make – seeking comfort in the short term at the expense of increased returns in the long term.

I share 3 ideas with which you can develop your own ability to get comfortable with the uncomfortable so that you can trade with poise.

In this episode we are going to think about trading decisions, explore what a good trading decision is, what a bad trading decision is, the relationship between your trading process and your trading results.

I share a case study of one of my clients who made one key mental shift – perhaps the most important mental shift required for making better trading decisions.

I will also share some strategies that you can utilise for reducing your own decision making stress and anxiety levels.

In this episode we explore the importance of situational awareness, a key mental skill that plays a key role in your ability to both notice and manage your thoughts, emotions and actions, in essence to be disciplined.

We look at what situational awareness is and why it is particularly important to traders.

Hear how you can train your own situational awareness.
