Detailed Agenda:

Do you ever wonder why a perfectly good trade setup failed or how you thought a trade couldn't work but did? All traders have blind spots in their thinking that seem correct at the time but turn out to be woefully flawed. Psychologists call them cognitive biases and heuristics. These create not only poor judgments but trading losses, and traders don't even realize they are making detrimental choices.

In this presentation Dr. Gary Dayton, trader, psychologist and author of Trade Mindfully will teach you some of the common mental blind spots and how to address them for better trading performance.
