Trading Psychology Event | Thinking, Fast and Slow | Part 7

Our final instalment with expert trader Tom Hougaard concludes with using the Stroop test to show how our minds can be easily misled and how we can react quickly without thinking. He uses this as a metaphor to show how when we stare at stock charts, our minds can jump to conclusions.

We, therefore, need to discipline ourselves so we don’t react without thinking when trading. He instructs us to not be fooled by our mind's tendency to jump to these conclusions, as it seeks out the answer we want.

Tom, you are changing perceptions even after 5 years. I am not sure about anyone else but this has calmed my mind for some reason.
Thank you and Well done.

Basically, he means don't buy low sell high. Buy strong stocks, when price goes up, buy more, cos the uptrend is clear.

Newbies wont get this unless they make losses and recover.

This has been a rollercoaster of emotions, as a relatively green intraday trader. I've gained a lot of insights on how your psychology should be towards the market.
Kudos to your channel for uploading it all... 🙏

[izzyrov]

So glad I watched this! Now I won't spend too much time studying indicators, just stick to my money management rules and keeping my emotions at bay. I just subscribed to Trader Tom's channel :)
