Most traders have some form of debt hanging over their heads.  This will affect you one way or the other, regardless of how much you have.  But what should be done about it?  Well, it depends.  Robb and VP go deep, because a lot needs to be discussed here.   #TradingPsychology   Maverick Links   Click Here To Learn More about Maverick Forex Trading:  URL: https://maverickfx.com/application-3-a/?ut...

We have a special tool for you to use now and for the rest of your trading career.  It's your very own personal trading psychologist!  Robb developed the prompt for it, and we're here to tell you all about it, here in Episode 98.   #TradingPsychology   Prompt Can Be Found Here: https://nononsenseforex.com/trading-psychology-ai-prompt/   Maverick Links   Click Here To Learn More about Maverick Fore...

We go way deeper into what you can expect when it comes to not only choosing a prop firm but the process of joining one and even trading at one.  There is also one point in the podcast where VP starts rethinking his life choices.   Maverick Links   Click Here To Learn More about Maverick Forex Trading:  URL: https://maverickfx.com/application-3-a/?utm_source=vpyt   Click Here To Learn More about M...

So you've made it, you're trading professionally at a prop firm.  What is that firm going to be expecting from you?  What will they be looking at?  Mostly your risk profile, so it would really help to know ahead of time how to trade like a professional prop trader who firms not only want to take on, but keep.  We just so happen to have the head of a large prop firm on this show.  Let's see what he...

Not a lot of fat traders out there, at least not successful ones.  Health and success in any endeavor go hand in hand, and VP and Robb both take their health very seriously, even though they have two completely different body types and lifestyles.  We lay it all out on the table, take whichever parts you like.   #TradingPsychology   Maverick Links   Click Here To Learn More about Maverick Forex Tr...

Autism is in full effect this episode as VP and Robb go off-script a lot as we drill down to how best to detach and divorce yourself from your results, how to eliminate your silly expectations, and just do the damn thing.  Your bottom line will thank you.   #TradingPsychology   Maverick Links   Click Here To Learn More about Maverick Forex Trading:  URL: https://maverickfx.com/application-3-a/?utm...

This is one of the most common issues with traders around the world, and also one of the most misunderstood.  VP and Robb break it all down, process it, and as always provide solutions here in Episode 93.   #TradingPsychology   Maverick Links   Click Here To Learn More about Maverick Forex Trading:  URL: https://maverickfx.com/application-3-a/?utm_source=vpyt   Click Here To Learn More about Maver...

Having lots of ambition is great and all, BUT WHERE YOU PUT IT means everything.  Sometimes we have so much ambition, we have no idea what to do with it, and it goes everywhere but where it's supposed to.  VP and Robb have both been there, and do their best in Episode 91 to get your focus in the right place from the very start.   #TradingPsychology   Maverick Links   Click Here To Learn More about...

Anger, when handled correctly, is a superpower.  We're not talking about getting angry about losing or making a mistake -- we're talking about being mad at your place in life, and how others have it better than you.  It's okay to be angry at this, it's normal in fact.  But how you process and utilize these feelings make all the difference.   #TradingPsychology   Maverick Links   Click Here To Lear...

Disappointment is absolutely rampant in trading, and hits you at so many different points in your trading career.  But we never stop to think WHY it's happening, and if these feelings are positive or negative overall, because yes, they can absolutely be positive.   #TradingPsychology   Maverick Links   Click Here To Learn More about Maverick Forex Trading:  URL: https://maverickfx.com/application-...

Insecurity is more than just lack of confidence; it's a fear of how others see you and judge you.  Almost every (male for sure) trader alive has gone trough this, or will go through it soon.  If you ever join a prop firm?  Oh boy, get ready for a heavy dose of this.  VP and Robb have 5 solutions to attack this issue before it starts, because there is zero upside to having this particular character...

A lot of people want to have a mentor in their trading journey to make things easier and less confusing.  But some questions need to be answered first.  Do you really need a mentor?  What types of mentors are out there?  Where can you find them?  It's hard to go about this journey completely alone, and Episode 87 shows you how to access other people's knowledge and guidance without being completel...

There are very separate and specific psychologies for scalpers and swing traders, each with their own struggles and solutions.  If you are deciding between the two, or let's be honest, if you're a scalper, you really need to hear this episode even though it's for everybody.   #TradingPsychology   Maverick Links   Click Here To Learn More about Maverick Forex Trading:  URL: https://maverickfx.com/a...

Robb and I just can't seem to agree on this one.  Should you take a break from trading, for any reason, and what do you need to do in the meantime?  When things get tough in trading, and in life, what do you do?  Turn tail and run away, or simply make a "tactical retreat"??  All depends on your perspective.  Ours differ.   #TradingPsychology   Maverick Links   Click Here To Learn More about Maveri...

That's right traders, there are so many great anecdotes and parallels to trading here, we thought an episode like this right before the Super Bowl would be perfect.  Whether you play or not, you'll get it.  Enjoy.   #TradingPsychology   Maverick Links   Click Here To Learn More about Maverick Forex Trading:  URL: https://maverickfx.com/application-3-a/?utm_source=vpyt   Click Here To Learn More ab...

VP and Robb don't really believe in New Years Resolutions, but if you're going to make a change, some people need to start somewhere, so here we go.  We go over changes a lot of you should be making, depending on where you are in your journey, and now is as good of a time as ever.   #TradingPsychology   Maverick Links   Click Here To Learn More about Maverick Forex Trading:  URL: https://maverickf...

A lot of you have this and other "afflictions" as well, I already know from the correspondence I've gotten on the No Nonsense Forex YouTube channel.  So ADDs, ADHDs, Auts, and Aspies unite!  We have a superpower when it comes to trading, and just like the last episode about the Smart Kid, harnessing this power is the key to everything.   #TradingPsychology   Maverick Links   Click Here To Learn Mo...

This might be you, but even if it's not, you probably possess some traits and experience some of the highs (and many lows) of somebody on the right side of the IQ spectrum.  This can actually be disastrous for trading.  VP and Robb explore this phenomenon, and show you what can be done to cope with it all.   #TradingPsychology   Maverick Links   Click Here To Learn More about Maverick Forex Tradin...

More things we hate about you, including something that will definitely never get you hired at Maverick Trading.  VP and Robb finally get it all out of their systems.   #TradingPsychology   Maverick Links   Click Here To Learn More about Maverick Forex Trading:  URL: https://maverickfx.com/application-3-a/?utm_source=vpyt   Click Here To Learn More about Maverick Currencies: URL: https://maverickc...

It may be hard to believe at first, but our political biases can and do play a part in our trading.  VP and Robb explain how and why, complete with examples and studies you can find below.   Fan Psychology:  https://www.psychologicalscience.org/observer/sports-complex-the-science-behind-fanatic-behavior   Psychology of Fan Engagement: https://livelike.com/the-psychology-of-sports-fan-engagement/  ...

When it comes to taking losses, there are actually a lot of different categories here.  One of them is the fear of taking them in the first place.  VP and Robb explore the different ways we talk ourselves out of profitable trades and investments, and you'll hopefully see just how ridiculous it can be when you hear it out loud.   #TradingPsychology   Maverick Links   Click Here To Learn More about...

We're stepping away from trading for one episode, because we feel it's critically important for everyone to strongly consider investing your cash if you aren't already.  For those of you who already do, there is still some alpha here for you as well.  But if you're feeling unconfident making that major step from doing what the poor do in to doing what the rich do, give us about an hour of your tim...
