You Need These 3 Words

Author: ClayTrader October 9, 2023 Duration: 16:49
I recently stumbled across an article which talked about a special three word phrase. This phrase comes from a public speaking expert from Stanford. I'm well aware that just because an "expert" from a highly regarded institute such as Stanford does not make it true; however, when I think about it and apply to trading, I believe it is 100% accurate! What makes this phrase so special? I would argue the phrase is not only special, but magical for we as traders. I've been working with beginner traders and those who are struggling for over a decade now. While this does not make me an expert, it has given me many data points to compare this Stanford expert's claims against. This is a very simple phrase yet it can truly rewire your brain in beneficial ways to trading. Let's talk about it and, as always, you are more than welcome to disagree!
