I don’t know about you. But when I see trading psychology being discussed it is often portrayed as ‘overtrading’ or ‘lack of discipline’ or ‘failure to pull the trigger’ being the issue that needs work on. For me, comparing myself when I was live trading in 2016 to now is just an absolute stark contrast. Then, I made every single psych mistake you could think of. Because I had no plan or idea what I was doing. Now, I have made 0 psych mistakes since I went live after spending 1.5 years learning and backtesting. Does it mean I’ll never make a psych mistake? No. It could happen. Anything is possible. Just because you can drive it doesn’t mean you won’t be in a car crash. But the chances are far less likely if you show up prepared with a system YOU tested and created and have belief in your abilities and the work you’ve done. More emphasis on getting psych right prior to live Trading than working on psychological issues that are the result of people not going about things the right way. Social Media = @naomigslight

Welcome back to The Trading Journey Podcast. In this episode I discuss 'feeling the fear and doing it anyway' - this is a bit of a cliche saying, but in this podcast I mention why I think all these little things we are afraid of each day actually amount to defining who you are and what you end up achieving. We are all capable of becoming professional traders, or whatever it is you want to achieve - in my opinion, the only thing in the way is mindset.
Hola! Welcome back to the podcast. In this episode I discuss 3 things I have learnt/am learning from demo trading so far. Even though I 'knew' these things before, it is definitely different actually experiencing it. Enjoy the podcast and let me know what you thought on social media @naomigslight

Hey Guys, Welcome Back! In this episode I talk about the change in my routine since I have finished the backtesting of my first strategy, to now on a demo account. My workload seems to have gone from 1bn% to very little. This will of course be temporary as I have other things to get on with, other strategies to add, but it is an interesting shift, and shows what it will be like once I trade full time and my portfolio is 'there.'

Hey guys, in this episode I talk about my journey with backtesting. It has been the majority of my journey up until now and often I get asked 'why did it take you so long to backtest' - to me, it took longer than I expected but really it just is what it is. I made my peace with it around March 2018 and just focused on the process of testing and getting it right.

HAPPY 2020! First episode of the year. In this episode I discuss how to practically deal with subjectivity when learning to trade. Whilst I had general rules in learning various concepts, subjectivity still exists. And that is a good thing too. To begin with I struggled with this, but over time, through implementing various learning methods and just based on putting in the reps I feel confident in dealing with such situations. Look forward to hearing what you thought of this episode. IG @naomigslight
