Rules of the Road — For Your Trading

Fun fact. When I was a teenager learning to drive in New York, I failed my driver’s test on the first attempt. Even after going through my school’s optional program — which my parents were able to sign me up for — I failed. And that really shocked me. I was an A student in

The Power of the Pause in Your Trading

When it comes to trading psychology, we often think about mindset, discipline, and emotion management. But there’s one simple tool I’ve leaned on for years — both as a trader and a teacher — that often gets overlooked. It’s the pause.
