In this special episode, Charlie Bathgate sits down with legendary trader and trading psychologist Chris Cady for a deep dive into the mental side of the markets. They explore why traders fall into the “this is insane” trap, how to stay emotionally engaged in mechanical markets, and what it takes to preserve your edge in an environment that no longer plays by old rules.
Chris shares wisdom from four decades in the game — from dealing with chaos in the pit to recognizing red flags before a blow-up, and why trading is still the most life-affirming thing you can do if you do it with intention.
They cover:
– Defensive copes and how they kill your edge
– The danger of disengaging during volatile markets
– Why stops, size, and personal life transitions matter more than you think
– How to trade with courage, not just conviction
This is required listening for any trader serious about long-term survival.
