AWESOME!

After FT's, definitely Brett's webinar.

I confess that I had an eye on the webinar and at the same time the other eye was on the TV following the match between Brasil and Mexico

Looking forward to review it.

Many thanks for this Mike.

Excellent and will be one of those which I will make a point of re-watching.

One thing in particular which I think made a lot of sense was that no amount of psychological work will make you profitable if you don't truly have an edge. Therefore early on it is perhaps not a bad thing to spend more time on methodology than psychology.

However once you have a methodology with a defined edge, psychology becomes critical. At that point you need to be very careful to not continue making constant methodology changes and tweaks. Dont continue down the rabbit hole of never ending analysis and rule changes. The real work at that point is following your plan and why this becomes a performance endeavor reliant on psychology.

I also like the points Dr. Brett made about building on existing strengths and making your trading more of who you already are. Spot on!

Haven't been posting lately but this webinar is really high value, forget about indicators and focus on what Dr. Brett Steenbarger has to say, it's not about doing but about beeing.

Thank you Mike (and Gary)

Want to say a special thanks to @steenbab for the webinar. I have his books and regularly read his excellent blog, which I was thrilled he started posting to regularly again this year. Kudos to him for distilling down some complex topics into something that laypeople (not trained in the field of psychology) can practically implement. Also, kudos for harmonizing both the importance of understanding and having an edge in markets and the importance of behavior on implementing that edge successfully.

Including my thanks too for Dr.Steenbarger.

If @PandaWarrior is the Dragon Warrior of Big Mike Trading, Dr.Steenbarger is the retail trader's mentor Oogway.

I just have to say: wow!!!

This was one of the best if not the best trading psychology webinars and discussion I've ever seen. Thanks a lot for having Dr. Brett Steenbarger.

If you have not seen this webinar and you are a serious trader, please, make yourself a favor and watch this as soon as possible.

Thanks again!

Sorry computer is running slow today, and the video link seemed to be not working. I thought I edited this post and wrote nevermind, but I guess that didn't go through. Thanks for checking back, sorry for the waste of time lol.

Ditto. I was SO happy when I found out he started posting again at Traderfeed. Absolutely love all his materials.

Thanks Mike and Dr. Brett for bringing us this top quality webinar!

Hi there,

Really enjoyed this webinar - thanks very much! Although not so pertinent to this webinar, I am very interested in Dr. Brett's biofeedback device usage for helping to become more relaxed and focused while trading. I am wondering if any members have used the Emwave or similar device and if so, if they found it helpful in improving their physiological state. Any feedback would be much appreciated as I am considering purchasing it.
