#139 Jason Shapiro: Don't Look Outwards,...

Steven Goldstein & Mark Randall
About this episode

We welcome back the brilliant Jason Shapiro for the fourth time as a guest on the AlphaMind Podcast. Jason, a talented trader featured in Jack Schwager’s book ‘Unknown Market Wizards,’ where he is famously known as 'the contrarian,' always has powerful and deeply insightful views on the art and challenges of trading. In this episode, he generously shares insights into his unique trading philosophy, illuminating the nuanced approach that distinguishes him in the trading landscape.

In this episode, we focus more closely on what it takes to be a trader at the personal, psychological, and behavioural levels. As Jason says, it's not so much about what's on the outside, but what's on the inside that matters.

Listeners, whether you are beginners or experienced traders, will find invaluable guidance from Jason, including understanding how your analysis fits in with what you are trying to achieve as a trader when taking risks, being realsitic about your returns and performance, dealing with discomfort, learning from the past, and mustering the courage to take a contrarian position when your analysis supports it. Join us as we delve into the mind of this exceptional trader whose unconventional strategies continually reshape the dynamics of the trading world.
