541: The Mindset Shift That Finally Makes Traders Consistent (David Bonanno)
Description
In episode 541 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, you will be listening to an interview with psychologist, Dr. David Bonanno, to unpack what's really happening in a trader's brain when emotions take over—and why trying harder is often the worst move. This isn't about motivation or discipline hacks, but about understanding and fixing the emotional loop that keeps traders stuck. If you've ever wondered why you keep breaking your own rules even though you know better, this conversation will hit close to home.
The video is also available for you to watch on YouTube.
