Think Like Everyone Else, Lose Like Everyone Else | Brent Donnelly
Description
Markets reward independent thinking, but only if you can avoid the traps that come with it.
This week, Brent Donnelly, President of Spectra Markets and author of Trade Outside the Box, joins us to discuss how psychology, risk management, and market narratives shape successful trading.
We explore poker's lessons for traders, AI's role in markets, Kevin Warsh's Fed, the dollar and yen, and why predicting people may matter more than predicting macro. Enjoy!
