The break is over – and this episode is about getting back into a trading rhythm that actually works. In this Talking Trading conversation, Louise Bedford unpacks a problem that sits behind so many stalled trading journeys: Hesitation. Waiting for certainty. Delaying decisions. Watching setups form and then letting them go. A loss can teach…
The AFR recently ran a piece on professional punter Kinglsley Bartholomew – unfortunately, as with most things, it sits behind a paywall. I have extracted several quotations that illustrate the overlap between processional punting and trading. 1. Loss Tolerance Is a Core Skill, Not a By-Product Quote: “I’m used to losing, and after doing it…
Language determines software, software determines behaviour. This simple series of steps catches traders unaware – there is a belief that markets destabilise traders when it is the unregulated response to markets that is the major destabilising element for traders. Price moves, volatility expands, and uncertainty is revealed—but it is the trader’s internal narration that turns…
In trading, profitability is rarely about predicting the market with flawless foresight. Instead, it often depends on how you frame risk, execute consistently, and allow probability to work in your favour. Two terms that are frequently confused but vitally important to distinguish are precision and accuracy. They sound similar, yet for traders, they represent entirely…
Where do ten-baggers really come from? Not where most traders think. In this episode of 10 Minutes with Tate, I dismantle the popular belief that the biggest gains come from market leaders and high relative-strength stocks. Using empirical evidence, index-rotation examples, and real-world case studies, he explains why true ten-baggers emerge from low-priced, thinly followed…
So, you think you should only invest in the biggest stocks on the market? You’ve bought into the myth that size equals safety, and that only the ASX200 or ASX300 deserve your attention. Wrong. That’s the exact mindset that keeps individual investors from crushing it in the markets. Meanwhile, the real money is being made…
In trading, complexity is seductive. A special indicator here, a different entry method there, and before long, your chart looks like a NASA control panel. Many traders believe that more systems mean more opportunities, but in reality, the opposite is often true. Simplicity has an unmatched advantage: it focuses your energy. A robust idea—trend following,…
Most traders believe wealth comes from being right more often. That belief quietly destroys traders. In this episode of Ten Minutes with Tate, I explain why the real risk of ruin isn’t a sudden crash — but a slow psychological and financial erosion caused by overtrading, small repeated losses, and cutting winners short. You’ll learn…
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…
