In this live online event, Denise will review how these questions contribute to a new way to strategize about your own psychological program for trading. Traders that learn to think first in terms of mental capital and psychological leverage will create an edge that no market can take away.
This approach will be demonstrated with examples featuring Gold Futures (GC) and 10-Year US Treasury Note Futures (ZN) traded at the CME Group.
