Summary
This session will practically highlight why some traders perform differently to others despite using the same strategy. During this coaching Jack will be introducing users to his own unique beat the EA competition to show differences in performance. During this session Jack will take volunteers and challenge them to trade a basic strategy (taught at the start of the coaching) using a randomised chart and trading environment. He will be looking at how the traders perform and analysing their decisions to help evaluate various traits that they may have which may hinder or help performance. There will be trading related prizes for the winner should they manage to beat the EA. The goal of this session is to answer the question of why people with the same system may or may not be profitable and highlight why trading is not just about being given a strategy to trade.Latest Live Videos
