Ep85: Taking a Break

tradingpsychologypodcast
About this episode

Robb and I just can't seem to agree on this one.  Should you take a break from trading, for any reason, and what do you need to do in the meantime?  When things get tough in trading, and in life, what do you do?  Turn tail and run away, or simply make a "tactical retreat"??  All depends on your perspective.  Ours differ.
