Mastering Trading Psychology with Anne-Marie Baiynd

Episode Summary:

Humans are optimistic by nature, and when it comes to trading, a little too optimistic. This week on Limit Up! Jack and Dan are speaking with Anne-Marie Baiynd about the psychology of being a good trader. Trading is not intuitive and is a skill that needs to be acquired. The key? Mastering risk management.

Full Show Notes:

As a trader, you need to be a bargain hunter. That’s according to today’s guest, Anne-Marie Baiynd.
