Description
Today on the podcast, Michael Covel speaks with Rande Howell. Sometimes new and experienced traders only want to focus on the system--the rules. They forget the psychology and the mental aspects of trading. Howell has a therapeutic background combined with personal coaching in the fields of human potential and leadership. He has fifteen years of practice as a licensed professional counselor with a Masters in Counseling. Covel notes: if your mind is messed up, it doesn’t matter what system you have--you’re going to fail. Covel and Howell present an interesting conversation to get you in the spirit of the mind. Their topics include what the performance mind is in regards to trading; trading, emotions, and uncertainty; why irrational pessimism is deadly in trading; emotional regulation and mastering emotions; the blurry line between the casino and trading, particularly in Asia; euphoria vs. fear in a trading context; why what you’re afraid of owns you; Jungian archetypes; the Myers-Briggs instrument; biological threat vs. psychological discomfort; the mistake of using trading to measure your worth; getting your emotions right but your strategy wrong; why success in one endeavor doesn’t necessarily mean success in trading; the importance of patience; and the panther vs. the African lion.
