Cleo and Baba Yaga join in this week to explore the topic of boredom in trading and how it can affect decision-making. The hosts discuss the importance of developing a strategy that is easy and relatively boring to trade, as heightened emotions can lead to poor choices. They also touch on the challenges of managing expectations and pressure as a trader. Baba Yaga shares his experience of relearning and finding a balance between excitement and steady decision-making, highlighting the need to acknowledge and set aside external pressures to perform well. Baba reflects on the recent conversation with 2yrflipper who had a clear and confident decision-making process and how that made him realize that he needed to work on his own decision-making and confidence.

About Brian: Brian McAboy started trading back in the 1990's and has been helping traders become successful traders since January 2006. He is a retired Project Engineer, Process Engineer and Quality Engineer. During Brian’s first year of trading, he made the common mistake of underestimating what it takes to be a trader and didn’t pay the markets or this occupation the proper respect. As a result, he paid a hefty price of over $45,000, loads of personal capital and nearly lost his marriage over it. Fortunately, Brian had the Quality Assurance experience working in manufacturing. When he applied the Quality Assurance methodology to his trading, he found that it works amazingly well, just like it has in the business world for decades to get struggling operations under control and predictably profitable. He then also applied his business acumen to further build that solid foundation that nearly all traders don’t get to really give him a solid base and peace of mind. Brian teaches these same success practices and methods to traders so that they can fill the gap in their training as well and enjoy relaxed, profitable trading too. Brian’s years of experience Quality Assurance and Business Consulting allow him to provide unique, effective and refreshing resources to the traders of the world. His focus is helping traders achieve self-sufficiency through the application of Quality and Business principles and practices that result in proficiency and success.

Andrew (Formerly known as Bigfoot) joins Kyle and Cleo in the latest Humanity of Trading episode to discuss parts work… What that means and how he has applied it to his own trading. He emphasizes the need to understand and work with different parts of oneself and shares his experience of hiring different “parts”, such as the risk manager and the thrill-seeker, to create a cohesive trading approach. By recognizing and integrating these parts, traders can improve their decision-making and overall performance. Andrew talks through the different states of mind he employs in trading before giving Cleo some insights into her own team based on a worksheet we filled out before the recording. Andrew suggests that Cleo should recognize and embrace her playful and present side in trading, and also utilize her adaptability and improvisational skills when things don't go as planned. Cleo mentions that interruptions and going off the rails are common in her work, and she handles them by validating the situation and finding a way to bring it back on track. Cleo and Kyle share their initial resistance to this approach but acknowledge its potential benefits. They explore the tension between rule-based discipline and improvisation in trading, and how to find a balance between the two. Andrew emphasizes the need to identify moments of completion in trading and transition between different aspects of one's personality. They also discuss the importance of self-reflection, accepting all parts of oneself, and confronting negative self-talk.

This week’s roundtable topic comes from Perdue (who unfortunately had some technical issues and couldn’t join in). Fleri and Baba Yaga talk about the importance of perseverance, learning from failures, and having a defined trading process. They also touch on the concepts of decision fatigue, sustainability, and the need to preserve capital. Both emphasize the importance of having clear setups, being able to recognize opportunities, and having the confidence to execute trades. The key takeaways: the need for grit, continuous learning, and the ability to adapt and refine one's trading approach. They also highlight the importance of perseverance and resilience in trading, emphasizing the need to embrace losses and understand that losing is a part of the trading process. Fleri points out the significance of having a well-defined trading strategy and being comfortable with the statistical probabilities of winning and losing.

From there, the panel dives into an in-depth discussion about process reviews and using statistical analysis to refine trading strategies. Along the way, they address the fear that comes with learning a strategy might not be as successful as once thought and the importance of collaboration during data analysis.

Jeff (2yrflipper) is back for a deeper dive into the art of scalping, as he emphasizes the importance of knowing when to scratch a trade and how to catch edges. Jeff discusses the significance of correlations in scalping and the importance of staying organized, as well as his use of delta and timers in his trading strategy. Jeff recommends starting with a one-lot position size to maintain consistency and learn from each trade, and to focus on managing the trade rather than the money. Developing quick twitch muscles and practicing clicking fast can benefit new scalpers, as well as looking for anomalies in the DOM and time and sales to identify opportunities for scalping. Scalping requires dedication and the ability to stay focused for long periods of time, and Jeff emphasizes the importance of executing trades only when there is a perceived edge and staying away when there isn't.

This week’s roundtable features a lively discussion around Mr. Banks’s recent “experience” with an Apex eval account, and Fleri shares some ideas about how to incorporate momentum into our trading. The panelists discuss their experiences with Apex, highlighting issues such as lack of transparency and poor customer service while also mentioning Top Step as a prop firm with good customer service. In terms of gauging momentum, they emphasize the importance of watching rotations and levels, as well as volume and tape reading, to determine the strength of a move. They discuss the significance of counter rotations and the disrespecting of support or resistance levels as indicators of momentum. The good, bad, and ugly highlights the importance of taking a step back after an unfortunate event and everyone makes Bold Masters Predictions in honor of Baba Yaga!

Anthony Crudele, host of Futures Radio Show joins Cleo and me to share how he got into trading and podcasting, and the (mostly) positive impacts of them on his personal life. The conversation then shifts towards sustaining success and how it can be harder than attaining it initially. Anthony shares how the pressure to keep what you have and continue building on it can be overwhelming… External and internal pressures, such as expectations from others and the fear of losing what you've gained, make sustaining success difficult. Navigating this requires envisioning yourself as a successful trader, acting as if you are already successful, and seeking guidance from mentors or successful individuals. Anthony then talks about his growth as a trader and how he has learned to slow things down and be more patient. He shares how his relationship with trading has evolved and how he now sees it as a puzzle to solve rather than a constant chase for profits. They also discuss the challenges Anthony is currently facing and how he deals with losses and setbacks before concluding with a reflection on how trading has shaped him as a person.

As a banker, his main thought is: “What’s the worst that can happen and how can I mitigate that risk?” Taking that same thought process into trading has made him focus more on his trade setups. Trade with confidence, trade what the market gives and limit the unknown factors.
