The mind, brain and body are all connected, and they work together when you are taking risk and making trading decisions – there is no mind-body split, that is an outdated notion.
How you are feeling physically has a big impact on your brains ability to take risk and make good trading decisions.
In this episode I look at the research around the brain-body connection and its impact on decision making, discuss my own physiological research with traders and talk about how you can build a strong physiology through specific performance lifestyle practices.
Key themes covered include…
• Decision fatigue and the embodied brain
• Why you need to train physical capacity to maximise trading capability
• Fatigue and decision-making research
• My own experience of assessing the physiological state of traders on their trading performance and decision making
• The importance building a strong physiological platform to trade from
• Sleep, risk taking and decision making
• Recovery – why switching off to switch on at the desk is key to sustaining high performance trading
• Nutrition – key principles for fuelling the trading brain for enhanced decision making
• Physical activity and enhancing cognitive function
• Building a performance lifestyle
