Your Trading Brain provides a unique approach to mental management from a biological perspective. The fundamental problem traders face is that the human brain wasn't designed for the psychological aspects of trading, and it naturally works in a myriad of paradoxical ways that directly oppose trading success. It’s always us that ultimately beats ourselves, but we don’t know why – because the true nature of what’s beating us is unknown. The working cognitive parts haven’t been dissected, the cause-and-effect relationships haven’t been closely studied, and their counterproductive effects on our self-control and decision-making haven’t been realized. Your Trading Brain aims to exclusively focus on this vital subject and clearly illustrate the powerful forces of nature that traders are up against. Not in an abstract psychological way (which is also important) but in core neuroscientific ways that approach performance problems directly at their biological sources. By leveraging profound and practical insights from the fields of neuro and behavioral science, we’ll explore the universal problem areas each trader encounters, provide explanations for their occurrence, and offer effective strategies to address them at their points of origin. Here’s a summary of the topics covered in Your Trading Brain: The Primal Brain: Our investigation will begin by uncovering the primal origins of our emotions, how they’re generated, the unique and specific ways in which they derail traders, and how to manage them on a biological level. The Modern Brain: You’ll learn how our brains use dual-process thinking to make quick judgments and deliberate decisions. We’ll examine the benefits and disadvantages of each process and how to avoid making judgment mistakes. Willpower: You’ll also learn about the limitations of willpower along with uncommonly known paradoxes that every trader should be knowledgeable of and prepared to mitigate. The Subconscious Mind: Finally, we’re going to delve into the territory of the unconscious and explore the enigmatic processes of the subconscious mind. We’ll investigate the mysterious inner workings that guide our attention, perceptions, and behavior in unconscious ways and learn how to develop a well-rounded mindset that supports our outcomes from an unconscious level. Mental Training: In the second section of the book, we’ll create a 4-page self-knowledge worksheet with the aim of exploring and documenting your unique counterproductive tendencies. Furthermore, you’ll be guided through 3 simple and effective mental training exercises, focusing on thoughts, feelings, and actions to help develop your brain into a peak-performance machine. When you finish Your Trading Brain, you’ll have gained a unique and vital understanding of the mental playing field along with supportive strategies and practices to help navigate its many hidden pitfalls.
