The Trader’s Mind: Why We Stick to What Doesn’t Work – Ep 121

In this episode of the Optimus Futures Podcast, we explore the intriguing world of trading psychology and why traders remain loyal to failing strategies.

We discuss the roles of cognitive biases, such as confirmation bias and overconfidence, and the pitfalls of misattribution and self-blame. Through an in-depth discussion, we provide actionable insights and a step-by-step guide on objectively assessing trading methods. We emphasize the importance of self-awareness, continuous learning, and adaptation.

Join us as we navigate the complex interplay of strategy and psychology, aiming to empower traders to make more informed and rational decisions in their trading journey.

Trading futures and options involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. The risk of loss in trading commodity interests can be substantial. You should therefore carefully consider whether such trading is suitable for you in light of your financial condition.
