027: Trader and Psychologist Dr Gary Dayton discusses why traditional approaches to controlling emotions don't work, the role of emotions in trading and how mindfulness can improve trading performance.

Dr. Gary Dayton has been an active trader since 1999 and is President of a consulting firm that specializes in developing "peak" performance in traders.

His approach to trading psychology is very different to the traditional approaches used by other trading coaches, introducing traders to the practise of mindfulness to not only overcome fear and other unwanted trading emotions but to develop the concentration and focus needed to trade successfully.

In this episode we discuss why traditional approaches to controlling emotions don't work, the role of emotions in trading and how mindfulness can improve trading performance. He also shares some tips on how to get started practising mindfulness, the benefits it can have outside of trading and how the approach of Mental Parking can increase focus.
