- “No One Comes To See You Because Things Are Great” - Ft. Sean Sawyer, Sound Performance Psychology
Sean Sawyer, Founder of Sound Performance Psychology is in the shop this week to discuss Sean's background in psychology and how that led to his interest in the markets. We also explore the similarities between traders and other professions such as musicians, executives, and athletes. Sean explains the concept of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and its application in reprocessing traumatic memories. Additionally, Sean introduces the CLEAR mindset approach, which stands for Connect, Loosen, Embody, Accept, and Respond, and emphasizes the importance of acceptance in trading. The conversation explores the importance of loosening attachments to thoughts and emotions and cultivating mental clarity and resilience and Sean challenges the traditional approach of overcoming negative thoughts. The conversation also delves into the concept of using core values to manage risk in trading and provides exercises for identifying those values. The stigma surrounding psychology and seeking help is discussed, with an emphasis on the importance of self-awareness and personal growth.

This week’s suboptimally titled roundtable starts off with a poll to find out if anyone ignored last week’s advice (not advice!) before moving on to a lively discussion about quieting the impulses, and how listening to music, doing affirmations or even just having a better understanding of your stats can help. In the Good/Bad/Ugly, (Thank you Cleo for the song!) Baba Yaga talks about achieving a new personal record and Fleri takes a moment to encourage anyone who was on the wrong side of last week’s trend.

Baba Yaga:
Solving problems, helping set goals, and refining processes is the bulk of Baba's passion. He does that in many contexts ranging from nonprofits to real estate firms and everything in between. He focuses on market structure through the lens of TPO charting and executes based on volume, misplaced large orders, and delta. He loves the opening range breakout and typically trades the market from the “inside out”.
Fleri:
Enter the world of trading with Fleri, a seasoned trader whose journey began in the early days of crypto exchanges and mid-cap stocks. Evolving over time, Fleri redirected his focus to futures and intraday trading, specifically honing his expertise in ES, NQ, RTY, CL, and UB. His approach is deeply rooted in Market Auction Theory, navigating the market by tracking participants through a nuanced blend of pattern recognition and the confluence of Price Action and Order Flow.
At the heart of Fleri's trading philosophy is a meticulous plan of execution, identifying areas for the auction to potentially seek value. Leveraging Order Flow and Price Action, he capitalizes on opportunities that present themselves throughout the trading day. Fleri is not just a trader; he's a dedicated educator, sharing his insights through podcasts, Twitter, and Discord to support fellow traders on their journeys.
What sets Fleri apart is not only his technical prowess but also his lighthearted approach and transparency about both past and current struggles. In the complex world of trading, Fleri brings not only expertise but also a relatable and open demeanor, creating a supportive environment for traders to learn and thrive.

This week Bear Goes Long and Andrew join in to explore the theme of greed in trading and how it can influence decision-making. They start off sharing some recent experiences with dealing with greed before expanding the discussion to emotional responses in general. Andrew emphasizes the value of self-reflection, documenting experiences, and finding a systematic process that aligns with one's intentions. The conversation explores the concepts of intuition and impulse in trading. Intuition is described as a whisper that requires internal stillness to hear, while impulse is the strong urge to take action, stressing the importance of quieting the mind to differentiate between the two. They also talk about the morning routine and mindset that helps them make better trading decisions. Andrew also explains the need to normalize the daily loss limit and how it can differentiate successful traders from those who struggle and gives us the blueprint for becoming the trader we want to be.

About Andrew:
Andrew is primarily an intra-day futures trader focused on ES and NQ. Coming from a career in creative work and a background in extreme endurance sports, Andrew found markets to be the perfect combination of technical attention to detail and mental resolve.
At Long Winter Trading Company, we believe that trading is hard.
That’s what we love about it. Trading is perhaps the most difficult career path a person can take. They must face the unknown each day and do it with their own capital with countless variables at play. We don’t expect trading to come easy. We don’t expect trading to allow you to remain in your current state. We do expect that, when mastered, trading can provide both a lifestyle and knowledge of self that is well beyond the normal person.
Thoughtful creative expression has a way of changing a person. This site is simply a mechanism for self-change and the pursuit of that which has value.
About Bear:
Bear made the transition from investing to trading at the beginning of COVID. After initial success with options, he quickly learned that his luck was greater than his skill and shifted his focus to futures. Bear has fully embraced the role of emotions and mental capital with the mindset that trading futures is purely an internal struggle that rewards patience, calm, bravery, focus, passion, and commitment. Beyond markets Bear finds joy in his community as a volunteer firefighter and EMT.

About Kyle:
Kyle (along with many others) found themselves increasingly drawn to active trading during the lockdowns. Daily discussions about trades, interests, lessons learned, and occasional setbacks with co-founder Dan laid the foundation for what would become the 2 Bulls in a China Shop and Band of Traders podcasts. Their self-deprecating humor and candid discussions about their trading experiences became the catalyst for a podcast that resonated with a broader audience.
The podcast not only opened doors to new communities but also became a platform for sharing insights and learning opportunities. For Kyle, it was a revelation — a discovery of true passion in trading, learning, and community building. Kyle's mission with the Band of Traders podcast is rooted in his personal journey. He aims to demystify trading, making it accessible to individuals at all levels of experience. Through educational resources and a thriving Discord community, the Band of Traders podcast empowers traders, fostering an environment where knowledge is shared, insights are exchanged, and a sense of camaraderie thrives.

About Zen:
Zen began his trading journey in March 2020, diving into the financial markets during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Initially having little knowledge of investing, he was inspired by a friend's suggestion to capitalize on the market downturn, leading him to experiment with a small investment on Robinhood. His early success with a mortgage REIT sparked a deeper interest in trading.
Over time, Zen expanded his skills, moving from swing trading small caps to trading options, and eventually found success in scalping shares. In 2023, Zen attempted to trade full-time and did well, especially trading Tesla. However, a few personal mistakes led him to step back and reassess his approach. Currently, he is focused on disciplined trading with a healthier balance, continuing to trade individual stocks and options on a smaller scale.

About Andrew:
Andrew is primarily an intra-day futures trader focused on ES and NQ. Coming from a career in creative work and a background in extreme endurance sports, Andrew found markets to be the perfect combination of technical attention to detail and mental resolve.
At Long Winter Trading Company, we believe that trading is hard.
That’s what we love about it. Trading is perhaps the most difficult career path a person can take. They must face the unknown each day and do it with their own capital with countless variables at play. We don’t expect trading to come easy. We don’t expect trading to allow you to remain in your current state. We do expect that, when mastered, trading can provide both a lifestyle and knowledge of self that is well beyond the normal person.
Thoughtful creative expression has a way of changing a person. This site is simply a mechanism for self-change and the pursuit of that which has value.
About Cleo:
Cleo has been learning to trade for the past 3 years and is an active member of the Vanta community. She came to trading through the angle of personal development, and she sees trading as an amazing way to get to know oneself as well as expand one's capacities. Cleo's professional background is in leadership development and facilitation. She has facilitated thousands to communicate in authentic and compelling ways. She loves being in the seat of curiosity. Cleo has worked with executives, corporate groups, religious groups, middle school students, groups of women, families, and couples. Her current focus is the CA criminal legal system, advocating for holistic approaches such as restorative justice and community-based violence prevention. Having played in the crypto and futures markets for the last three years, Cleo sees trading as one of the most challenging things to undertake and is particularly interested in what it takes to become a consistently profitable and well-rounded trader.

Baba reflects on the recent conversation with 2yrflipper who had a clear and confident decision-making process and how that made him realize that he needed to work on his own decision-making and confidence.

About Brian:
Brian McAboy started trading back in the 1990's and has been helping traders become successful traders since January 2006. He is a retired Project Engineer, Process Engineer and Quality Engineer.
During Brian’s first year of trading, he made the common mistake of underestimating what it takes to be a trader and didn’t pay the markets or this occupation the proper respect. As a result, he paid a hefty price of over $45,000, loads of personal capital and nearly lost his marriage over it.
Fortunately, Brian had the Quality Assurance experience working in manufacturing. When he applied the Quality Assurance methodology to his trading, he found that it works amazingly well, just like it has in the business world for decades to get struggling operations under control and predictably profitable.
He then also applied his business acumen to further build that solid foundation that nearly all traders don’t get to really give him a solid base and peace of mind. Brian teaches these same success practices and methods to traders so that they can fill the gap in their training as well and enjoy relaxed, profitable trading too.
Brian’s years of experience Quality Assurance and Business Consulting allow him to provide unique, effective and refreshing resources to the traders of the world. His focus is helping traders achieve self-sufficiency through the application of Quality and Business principles and practices that result in proficiency and success.

Andrew (Formerly known as Bigfoot) joins Kyle and Cleo in the latest Humanity of Trading episode to discuss parts work… What that means and how he has applied it to his own trading. He emphasizes the need to understand and work with different parts of oneself and shares his experience of hiring different “parts”, such as the risk manager and the thrill-seeker, to create a cohesive trading approach. By recognizing and integrating these parts, traders can improve their decision-making and overall performance. Andrew talks through the different states of mind he employs in trading before giving Cleo some insights into her own team based on a worksheet we filled out before the recording. Andrew suggests that Cleo should recognize and embrace her playful and present side in trading, and also utilize her adaptability and improvisational skills when things don't go as planned. Cleo mentions that interruptions and going off the rails are common in her work, and she handles them by validating the situation and finding a way to bring it back on track. Cleo and Kyle share their initial resistance to this approach but acknowledge its potential benefits. They explore the tension between rule-based discipline and improvisation in trading, and how to find a balance between the two. Andrew emphasizes the need to identify moments of completion in trading and transition between different aspects of one's personality. They also discuss the importance of self-reflection, accepting all parts of oneself, and confronting negative self-talk.

Ric eventually became a scientist and after his wife was killed by an alternate version of himself, he dedicated his life to avenging her death and reconnecting with his grandson… I think… That or he’s just a dude slinging some UB.
