The Doctor Who Rewired The Psychology Of Wall Street Traders
On this episode of Words of Rizdom, we are joined by Dr Andrew Menaker. Andrew works with professional traders, hedge fund managers, bank traders, prop traders and independent traders to help them understand the real psychology behind trading performance. In this interview, Andrew breaks down why emotion is not the enemy, why every trader has an “inner market”, why your P&L can distort your self-worth, and why finding an edge is not the hardest part of trading.
