The quote below is from an interview Stanley Kubrick gave to Playboy Magazine in 1968; as with all things involving decision-making, it is directly applicable to trading. “Among a great many other things that chess teaches you is to control the initial excitement you feel when you see something that looks good. It trains you…
Trading is unique among professions in that you get to build your job description. You can trade any market over any time frame using any system. You can decide whether you want to make trading hard or whether you want to make it easy. Unfortunately, most people opt to complicate it. They do this through…
It’s no secret that the stock market often feels like an exclusive club, reserved for the wealthy and powerful. For years, investors have complained that the system is rigged, tilted in favour of those who have insider access and the ability to move the markets at will. But is it really an “elitist” system, or…
When Rose first joined the Mentor Program, she was not a confident trader. She and her wife, Jen, were juggling the enormous responsibility of raising three children from foster care – all with special needs and disabilities. Life was demanding, money was tight and trading was a distant idea rather than a career. But Rose…
Are you paying the success tax without even realising it? If you’re a trader glued to multiple screens, working in an “always-on” world, you may already be paying the hidden cost of digital burnout. Neuro-performance scientist Dr Kristy Goodwin joins Louise Bedford to explain how constant connectivity drains your focus, erodes decision-making, and quietly sabotages your trading results.
Louise Bedford from Trading Game pinpoints strong opportunities in the market, identifying the smaller end of the ASX as the standout performer. Bedford describes volatility in the All Ordinaries (ASX:XAO) as low, which currently benefits traders seeking smoother exits. While the broader indices such as the ASX20, ASX100, and ASX300 are regarded as ‘cold’, Bedford…
There comes a moment in every trader’s journey when the market nudges your exit, and the mind begins its quiet rebellion. Your internal voice begins to negotiate, “Wait… maybe this isn’t real. Maybe it’s just a sentiment wobble, not a true break.” This negotiation is not unique to trading. It is the same inner dialogue…
Have you ever wondered why the media always seems to headline a “market crash” just when you’re ready to make your next move? Or why financial news outlets make it feel like you’re perpetually one step behind, scrambling to catch up to what the big players already know? The truth is, you’re not imagining it…the…
My social media feed occasionally throws up clips from a podcast called Diary of a CEO by Stephen Bartlett, who, from what I have seen, seems to spend most of his time staring wide-eyed at people making the most outrageous, nonsensical statements about health and science. And to bastardise the quote attributed to H.L.Mencken, nobody…
In the latter part of the 20th century, a pioneering group of economists started shaking up their academic field. These “behavioural economists” used findings from experimental psychology and everyday activities to challenge the prevailing view that human beings were rational decision-makers – acting in predictable ways to maximise their wealth. One of those pioneers was…
Below is a chart I consider the most dangerous in trading. I consider it to be the most dangerous because the price is doing precisely nothing other than ambling along between two lines. Having had an excellent year, gold is now stagnant and simply churning within a consolidation pattern. When prices start to do this,…
Within the world of trading, you’d think rationality would be the minimum entry fee. After all, markets are built on numbers, probabilities, risk, and logic. And yet, time after time, traders cling to ideas that are not just wrong—but spectacularly wrong. On a quiet weekend not long ago, I found myself doom-scrolling through a financial…
One of the more interesting experiences I have had over the decades is reviewing other traders’ plans. Many look ideal on paper with all conceivable contingencies covered. However, in reality, the execution is often tremendously flawed. In one instance, I reviewed a plan I considered flawless, but when I reviewed this trade’s results, the trade…
You’ve been sold a dream. Work hard for decades, save diligently, invest in your super, and one day you’ll retire comfortably. But here’s the hard truth: the system is rigged against you. It’s not designed for you to enjoy financial freedom in your golden years. It’s set up to keep you working longer, dependent on…
JC Siliato thought he knew a lot about $money. He was a chartered accountant after all. But when it came to trading, he quickly realised there was more to learn than he ever imagined. “I thought I knew a lot about the markets. That was until I got involved with the Mentor Program, where I…
