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.

Dr. Gary Day­ton stands apart as a trad­ing psy­chol­o­gist in his use of the Mindfulness-Acceptance-Commitment approach to peak per­for­mance, a model of human behav­ior based on cutting-edge psychological research. He is the author of Trade Mindfully: Achieve Your Optimum Trading Performance with Mindfulness and Cutting Edge Psychology, published by Wiley Trading Series in January 2015. In Trade Mindfully, Dr. Dayton integrates mindfulness and sport psychology to show traders how to overcome fear and other difficult emotions, keep attention on what really matters in a trade, and how to systematically develop their mental and technical trading skills to enhance their trading performance.

Dr. Dayton is a trading psychologist, trader and trading educator. He is an expert in the Wyckoff Method of analysis and chart reading in which the technical aspects of the market are read with price bars and volume. Dr. Dayton teaches traders mindfulness and other cutting-edge mental skills at TradingPsychologyEdge.com. He also teaches advanced trading skills through "Deep Practice" - a weekly on-line training where traders elevate their chart reading and psychological trading skills.

Dr. Dayton is a licensed psychologist in Connecticut and New York and holds a doc­tor­ate in clinical psychology and a certificate in human performance/sport psychology from Rutgers University, Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology.
