• The psychology of trading – Performance data and how to use it to your advantage

  Is it skill or luck? Something we may not often consider or evaluate when trading. But, by using performance data, you should be able to analyse how to better execute trades based on certain factors. Did you ever consider what sorts of markets you are better at trading in or are certain performance biases holding you back? In the second episode in our series on the psychology of trading, we look to answer these questions and more. We are joined by Clare Flynn Levy, Founder and CEO of Essentia Analytics and we welcome back Dr. Richard Peterson who is a psychiatrist, and the CEO of MarketPsych.

• The psychology of trading – Breaking down emotions and personalities

  Confident, competitive, disciplined, introverted, anxious are just some of the traits that make up hedge fund traders. Some of them can be positive to one’s performance while others can tend to hurt potential and success. Traders are constantly learning how to deal with herd psychology, navigating bubbles and crashes as well as often trying to turn anxiety into something that is motivational and activates a game plan for success. Today we are kicking off a series focusing on the different pieces that help make up the psychology of trading and for our first episode, we are welcoming back two long-time experts in the field of psychology who work with traders to help them optimise performance on the desk and off. Dr. Richard Peterson is a psychiatrist, and the CEO of MarketPsych and Dr. Alden Cass is a licensed clinical psychologist and trading performance coach.
