Reappraisal of incentives ameliorates choking under pressure

Trading PsychologyBy Chris TateFebruary 6, 2019

This is quite an in depth and technical paper which looks at the way a change in perception or reappraisal of risk/reward alters the performance of participants. From my perspective the most important part of the paper is the following – During the session you will see the word Loss and the word Gain appear…

Infinity Wells and Deep Work

Trading PsychologyBy Chris TateFebruary 6, 2019

Deep work is my term for the activity of focusing without distraction on a cognitively demanding task. It describes, in other words, when you’re really locked into doing something hard with your mind…In order for a session to count as deep work there must be zero distractions. Even a quick glance at your phone or…

Loss Aversion in Professional Golf

Trading PsychologyBy Chris TateFebruary 6, 20191 Comment

Traders use all sorts of metaphors to describe trading unfortunately most of them are inappropriate and not truly reflective of the nature of trading. If you are looking for a game that to my mind replicates a lot of the difficulties of trading it is golf. From the perspective of an amateur observer golf seems…

The Profound Amateurishness of All Things Crypto

CryptocurrencyBy Chris TateFebruary 5, 20192 Comments

Canadian crypto exchange QuadrigaCX says it cannot repay most of $262 million in client holdings after its founder Gerald Cotten, the only person who knew the passwords to its “cold storage,” unexpectedly died in India in December 2018, Coindesk reported on Friday.

Perfect Safety

Trading PsychologyBy Chris TateFebruary 1, 20192 Comments

I have posted this short piece below many years ago and after a few conversations with traders recently I thought it was time to post it again. I have added my emphasis to the final sentence. But, no matter what you do, it will never be perfectly, 100% risk-free to fly.  Or to drive, or…

The Great Paradox of Peak Performance

Trading PsychologyBy Chris TateJanuary 31, 2019

Peak performance happens as a result of trying really hard, and then not trying at all. It’s a paradox. I’ve never met someone who has described a breakthrough performance as effortful or straining or tight. It’s the opposite: when people are at their best—whether it’s on the playing field, in the workplace, or in the artist’s…

David Goggins Wrote the Game Plan for Peak Performance

Trading PsychologyBy Chris TateJanuary 31, 20193 Comments

“Motivation is crap. Because once you’re in an extreme situation, motivation goes away. Right now it’s 69 degrees outside, it’s sunny, with a little bit of wind. I’ve got a nice TV in front of me. If you were to watch a motivational video in this environment, boy, you’re going to think you’re a badass. You’re…

Its All Between Your Ears

Trading PsychologyBy Chris TateJanuary 29, 2019

I snipped this from the Twitter page of Alex Hutchinson the author of Endure which is an excellent read for those looking for something different. The piece in quote marks – “My training will be the same, but my mind will be different” sounds as if it could have almost been written for a trader.…

The Periodic Table of Commodity Returns

Charting, Commodities, International MarketsBy Chris TateJanuary 25, 2019

I snipped the graphic below from Visual Capitalist who produce some interesting infographics.  What has always intrigued me about the interpretation of these performance comparisons is that almost everyone gets them wrong. The financial media looks at the fact that commodities overall had negative performance for the year and then carry on about how bad…
