Most traders are told to stay calm, suppress emotion, and stick to the plan—but what if that’s exactly what’s holding them back? In this episode, we sit down with Denise Shull, performance coach to top hedge fund managers, pro athletes, and the author of Market Mind Games. Denise breaks down why avoiding or ignoring your emotions leads to hesitation, slumps, and missed opportunities—and how understanding your emotional signals can actually become your biggest edge. We dive into the psychology of decision-making, the physical signs of confidence, and why your beliefs shape your perception of the market more than you think. If you've ever second-guessed yourself mid-trade or struggled to trust your process, this conversation is packed with insights you won’t want to miss.
