Very good piece by Dr Brett Steenbarger.
We’ll never find our peace by succeeding at trading. Succeeding at trading requires finding our peace, because that’s the only way we’ll be sufficiently open-minded to truly understand what markets are doing. Finding fulfillment in our lives outside of trading is a wonderful path toward bringing peace to our trading.

Hi Chris,
Spot on. Following on from the Melbourne workshop and contemplating a best way forward, one thing I have been yearning for, is a more meditative state of mind, not just for this trading journey, but for all facets of life. In my 20s I sat a number of 10-day no speak Vipassana courses that provided mental stability that I didn’t have/couldn’t find in other places. I haven’t sat one of these courses for a number of years, but now, with an invigorated purpose I’m looking to book in again… 3-day short courses first though!
