Struggling to overcome the emotional and financial pain of a big loss in trading? Are you constantly chasing the illusion of control and falling into the trap of gambling instead of trading? 

No matter how experienced or knowledgeable you are, trading can sometimes be a difficult game. While failure is inevitable and learning from it is essential, the magnitude of your losses determines what kind of lesson to take away. 

In this episode of the Trading Psychology and Mindset Podcast, I delve deep into the workings of our brain and share insights on how to train the mind you bring to trading into the mind you need for trading success. I understand the pain that comes with a big loss and why this comes from how our brain is wired to control outcomes at all costs, which is just an illusion that sets us up for failure. 

Don't let large defeats cloud your judgment – look for catalysts that force an outcome outside normal parameters before making meaningful changes in strategies going forward!
