Pinball Trading
Ever feel like the pinball in the pinball machine of life? Motivational speaker Chris Helder talks on how to Cut the Noise and get out of your comfort zones. Louise Bedford discusses cancelling the binge-purge cycle and Braden Gardiner talks trading routines. It is really hard to be perfect - Chris HelderDo you feel pressure to be the perfect parent, spouse, employee, and trader, whilst being perfectly fit and never ageing?All the while knowing deep down that it is not normal to be perfect!Getting bounced around like THE PINBALL in the PINBALL MACHINE OF LIFE is not the most powerful way to live.Cutting the noise and finding conscious awareness frees us from this cycle. It also gets us out of our comfort zones.On a primitive level our brains’ job is to keep us safe so dangerous animals don’t eat us. But it also means that we stay in comfort zones, not growing.We just don’t want to be safe we want to feel ALIVE.And we feel most alive when we get out there.The things you are most proud of were achieved when you were pushing and challenging yourselves out of your comfort zone.For 2018 – say ‘WOW’ I have one of the greatest years of my life. What does that look like for you? Braden GardinerA morning routine is one of the most important things in Braden’s trading. It helps his mindset and what to expect to see for the day.He discusses mistakes he sees other trades making as well as the importance of finding your niche in the markets. MIndpower Binge Purge CycleTrading is a marathon it is not a sprint.Trying to do everything 100% percent of the time leads to burn out, injury and inconsistent results.Trading is something if you do a little every day you will see results. If your trading feels like running on a treadmill — sweating, pushing, but going nowhere — it’s because you’re missing the right system.

Star Wars Charting
How does Classical Chartist Peter Brandt determine trade quality and entry?Hear how he views the charts and the common errors new traders make. Louise Bedford discusses our caveman survival instincts when we are battling either a losing trade or a sabre-toothed cat and Chris Tate talks A Little Trading.Chris Tate – A Little TradingStarting with a low amount of money in the markets?Chris shares his knowledge on how to make it grow. Louise Bedford – Caveman TradingA losing trade OR a sabre-toothed cat?Our instincts remain the same.To attack - to be risk-taking.The golden rule of share trading is to keep your losses small and let your profits run. But our evolutionary survival makes this easy in theory but hard to follow in practice.It is our job to overcome it as traders.Hear how our caveman DNA affects your trading. Peter BrandtFor Peter Brandt a really good pattern in the charts is obvious.They are few and far between.But new traders tend to replay similar mistakes.Just as Picasso or Rembrandt went through different periods in their art, new traders will often go through different stages in their charts, such as a trend line period, or head and shoulders period and it often has the effect of creating charts that resemble star wars maps.According to Peter studying a chart too hard is lacking in wisdom and prudence.If Peter doesn’t see a trade within a millisecond of looking at a chart it is time to look at a new chart.Hear Peter’s way of charting and how for real traders a good chart speaks to their inner being.

In this interview with Peter, we discuss the issues around transactional value, hacking and volatility as well as the potential of the distributed ledger technology.Your 'why' will drive you - Louise BedfordYou don’t need to suffer from lonely trader syndrome.Hear who was Louise’s support when she was learning to master options and her big why?Have you clearly defined your 'why' for trading?Make sure it is crystal clear.
