My coaching work applies evidence-based psychological techniques (see my background and my book on the topic) to the improvement of productivity, quality of life, teamwork, leadership, hiring best practices, and creativity/idea generation.  An important part of the "solution-focused" approach that I write about is that we can often best grow by focusing on what we do well and how we do it--and then doing more of what works for us.  The key is to know our cognitive, interpersonal, and personality strengths and leverage those in the pursuit of performance.

I wish you the best of luck in your development as a trader and in your personal evolution.  In the end, those are one and the same:  paths to becoming who we already are when we are at our best.

What Separates The Best Traders From The Rest

 
8/2/2026 - I once noted that the point at which we grow old is the point at which we decide that the best of life is behind us.  It could be at age 30, 50, 70, or never.  A youthful mindset is one in which we perceive a bright future and decide to pursue it.  That could be in markets, in relationships, or in our work efforts; it could be in all of these.  When we fight for the future, as Ayn Rand pointed out, we live in it today.  The brightness of the future we work toward illuminates each of our days.  

In the Trading Psychology 3.0 book that I'm currently writing, I review the large number of books written either about or by accomplished traders.  What is clear as I research is that the great traders pursue markets not merely as a career or even as a passion, but as a quest.  When we are on a quest, we dedicate ourselves to a noble and inspiring end.  P/L by itself is not a quest.  For the greats, the true quest is for mastery and understanding.  Profitability is simply a way of keeping score.  

When we pursue our quest, our lives become ones of purpose, meaning, challenge, and fulfillment.  Our efforts give us energy:  they inspire us.  We look forward to each day--and that is the mindset of those who remain perpetually passionate, ever-youthful, knowing that the rest of their lives will be the best of their lives.
