Key moments

• [01:45] "Being able to look at the trade setup that you know is your bread and butter trade—to kind of have those A, B, and C setups marked out." • [02:56] "Once you learn that you can’t really beat your emotions, you just have to game plan to not get to that point. It makes you re-examine your whole psychology." • [03:28] "A good psychology strategy puts you in the driver's seat of making sure you don’t get to that place of doing dumb decisions by not putting yourself in very over-stressful situations." • [04:06] "Stop trying to keep up with what you see other people are doing, and just kind of run your own race in terms of your own account size and things like that." • [06:09] "If you know that once the heat gets turned up, you start to learn this is something that's unavoidable, and the only way I avoid it is by not putting myself in that scenario to begin with." • [06:56] "Mapping out my emotions, really getting a better understanding of what emotionally is causing me to get to these certain places and basically creating a map of that stuff." • [10:06] "Pretty much, you can win with any strategy. As long as you know your system in and out and you know what causes you to get in on the market, you can be profitable." • [13:46] "If you haven’t backtested, it’s basically just practicing. So if you haven’t practiced, how are you going to be great at trading?" • [26:56] "You really need to have a transparent conversation with yourself around, when you get funded, are you able to actually manage your account with risk?"
