How to Avoid Burnout in Day Trading - The Coach's Playbook

The VIX is up 25 percent. We're back to that 20 handles and that means there's some good day trading coming down the pipe. That being said, we know that's not always the case. So today, we're bringing you a recent segment of The Coach's Playbook with the incomparable Carol Jorissen, big time commodities trader back in the day. We talk about how to avoid day trading burnout, which is something we're all going to have to deal with at some point. However, there are tools to help manage those feelings as well as some indicators to know when it's time to step away - maybe for a while, maybe for good. So take a listen, because you shouldn’t trade because it's something you have to do, trade because it's something you want to do.
