The topic is trading and gambling.
In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:
- Focusing on the process instead of the outcome
- Understanding that it’s about your return, not you winning percentage
- Recognizing that in investing, consistency is unnatural
- Thinking probabilistically
- Maximizing your expectancy
- Understanding that a loss doesn’t necessarily reflect bad thinking
“When you focus on outcome over process you actually reduce innovation in your company.” – Annie Duke
