Mindset & The Markets
Where your mindset IS the edge.
Mindset & The Markets is my weekly Monday podcast about the part of trading nobody can sell you: the inner game. Every trader has access to the same charts and strategies. What separates us is how we think, feel and act when money is on the line.
Each week I sit down with people who study the mind for a living to dig into discipline, confidence and what it really takes to execute.
What we talk about
Strategy vs. discipline
Why the best strategy fails without the discipline to run it, and why so many traders keep searching for the next system.
Process vs. prediction
Trading what's in front of you instead of trying to be right about what comes next.
Follow the plan or adapt?
Knowing when to stick to the plan and when the market is telling you to change it.
Where confidence comes from
Building real, earned confidence in the markets, not the kind that disappears after a red day.
Who you'll hear from
Performance psychologists, therapists, astrologers and hypnotists: guests who work on the mind from very different angles, all brought back to one question. How does this make you a better trader?

About the host
I'm Nick. I started trading actively in 2007 on a prop desk in Scottsdale, Arizona, and I've spent nearly 20 years in the markets since. I've completed my RYT 200 yoga teacher trainings in Vinyasa, Yin and Yoga Detour, and I'm trained in energy work and breath work facilitation, so the mind-body side of performance is something I practice consistently, not just talk about.
