A few years ago, Sean Kozak, President of NeuroStreet Trading Academy, spoke with a friend leading a neuroscience lab. The lab was developing a program to give the Manchester United soccer team a cognitive advantage on the field. Sean wondered, why don’t we have this for traders?
Today, Sean’s company provides trading software and education with a neuroscience twist. Through daily cognitive exercises, traders strengthen their brains to help them make better trades. Sean dropped by Limit Up! to discuss how managing emotions, positive affirmations, and pattern recognition can help traders level up their game.
Tune in to find out how cognitive neuroscience can help you be a better trader.
