How to improve the quality of decisions when trading
I did an interview on the Decisions That Count podcast where I talked about how to set yourself up for making better decisions and to combat decision fatigue as a trader. I was interviewed by Dr. Shawn Watson, a neuroscientist working on the problem of decision fatigue, and Michelle O’Brien, the host of the Upward Spiral podcast.
In this interview, I discussed some of the following topics:
Why pre-decisions and protocols are game-changers for mental clarity
The emotional cost of trading and how to manage it
How mindfulness and biohacking support better decision-making
Why “doing nothing” can sometimes be the smartest choice
How to compartmentalize high-stakes work from personal life
The discussion was a nice departure from talking about my views on the market and it focused more on how to optimize good decision making as a trader, which translates to profitability and longevity in one’s career.
Great podcast, a very untalked about subject-matter, but such a fascinating one, with so many ways to go about it.
