Rising Above a Trader’s Inner Turbulence · Sam Daghash

EP 284 | Rising Above A Trader’s Inner Turbulence | Sam Daghash We often hear that having “Discipline” is the key to trading success. But many of us traders continue to struggle developing discipline and good habits for trading no matter how hard and how long we’ve tried. Could there be a deeper reason for this? As fellow human traders, we are commonly faced with our own programming that we are often unaware of. In this special episode, Sam Daghash, a professional coach and co-founder (alongside co-founder David Capablanca, interviewed on CWT episode 257) of the Conscious Trading Academy specializing in helping traders overcome mental barriers, dive into aspects of a trader’s mindset. If we cannot think greater than we feel, then this would compel us to be more aware of our mental states which can sabotage our trading.
