The Mental Game of Trading with Jared Tendler - Part 2

We all want to be confident traders. But there is a huge difference between confidence and competence. In part two of our series with Mental Game Coach Jared Tendler, we’re talking about how confidence in and of itself should not be your goal.Jared walks us through the Dunning Kruger Effect (think American Idol contestants who have no idea how bad they are) and shares how to avoid this pitfall. Jack and Dan also make some truly terrible predictions for the Master’s and round things out with tips on how to trade during market slowdowns, especially in the summer.
