Trading Psychology: How To Develop A Mental Edge
| How to develop a mental edge in trading – lessons from a High-Performance Trading Coach. |
|
Dear Traders, My NYSE trip has ended and I’m now back in Vancouver, trading $AMD and $PLTR in my office this morning while live streaming in the Bear Bull Traders chatroom. I also did a highly insightful Trader Psychology presentation with Crede Sheehy-Kelly, a high performance psychologist who has worked with CEOs and hedge-fund traders. Crede presented a framework that will help struggling traders gain a mental edge, fixing the root causes of our mental struggles in trading. Please make sure to watch this psychology session during your downtime. Play it in the background when you’re commuting or working out; there’s a lot of actionable trading concepts discussed in this video. |

| As a reminder for Bear Bull Traders Elite Members, we have our Wednesday Psychology Webinar today at 8PM Eastern Time. Our trader psychology specialist Wesley Altman will be diving into a very realistic topic: Emotional Intelligence.
FOMO. Revenge trading. Impulse entries. Overtrading. Hesitation. Every trader knows them, they’re universal symptoms. But what works for one person won’t work for the next. Real change starts with emotional intelligence. In this session, Wesley will break down the emotional patterns behind these behaviors and show how self-awareness and tailored strategies lead to real control. |

| Peak Capital Trading Bootcamp is now enrolling new traders who are ready to pursue professional trading in 2026. In 2025, our instructors at PCT Bootcamp have successfully accelerated a new group of consistent traders. These traders are not the ones who hit one lucky trade. In fact, a slow and steady uptrending equity curve is the ideal result that we want to help traders achieve at PCT bootcamps.
Here’s an IBKR equity curve of a bootcamp trader who started with a $10K small account. This trader was assigned to Aiman’s focus group based on their style of trading and personalized trade book. In 3 months, he has achieved a highly successful 70% gain by sticking to one trade book. Every PCT Bootcamp trader must create a trade book first before coming to the bootcamp. They are instructed to book a live session with Mike to structure their tradebooks that they will be using during the 13-week intensive structured program. |

For serious traders who really want to make trading your professional career, please download this weekly schedule and the trade book creation PDF to get an understanding of what the bootcamp consists of. If you are interested in the 2026 Bootcamp Enrolment, please email support@peakcapitaltrading.com and introduce yourself to Mike, the Chief Learning Officer. |
| Looking forward to trading with you,
