I would like to leave a positive review for a service that has helped me with some very long-running challenges with my trading. My only affiliation with this vendor is as a client.

I trade futures, primarily equity index futures (NQ) and have been in the trading world off-and-on for the past 20 years but focused specifically on futures for the past 6’ish years.
I have struggled with maintaining the patience and discipline to execute my plan, like many of us. I’ve read the trading psychology books, Douglas and Steenbarger and Tendler. I found good helpful stuff in all three. I know my plan works, have a lot of data to back this up, but could not make myself trade according to the plan. Of course, I blamed my lack of discipline and willpower and other negative personality traits, but the problems persisted. I can’t express how frustrating all this was…and how inexplicable I found my behavior. Why couldn’t I just execute the plan???

I had thought about finding a psychologist to work with but could not imagine working with someone that did not understand trading. I didn’t want to have to explain trading to the professional helping me fix my trading problems, so I never pursued this. Then I came across a psychologist that works specifically with traders and pulled the trigger, contacted him, and had some sessions.

Zvi at Whole Brain Trading (you can find him on a web search) helped me immensely. I entered into the sessions with a bit of skepticism, but also feeling desperate enough to keep an open mind and see how this developed. I won’t go into the details of how Zvi works, but my work with him has been a game-changer. It is NOT an overnight fix, at least not for me, but I feel like I have the tools and understanding now to continue to develop and grow on the immediate improvement I did see after just a couple sessions.

I highly recommend anyone that is struggling with issues like mine to seek out some help. I don’t think I could have ever done this without some guidance. Zvi is a great choice.

I too struggle with similar troubles, but at the end of day I think it all broils down to "just do it". One of my big troubles with trading is not accepting I was wrong and letting my trade go early. I have been working on fixing that by not moving my Stop no matter! I think when one struggles with something only real pain will change your ways.

For anyone on a budget I recommend anything by Brett Steenbarger, but particularly "Trading Psychology 2.0" and "The Daily Trading Coach" -full of practical tips and deep insights. They've been my go-to texts over the years. He also has a blog/website with a lot of really great free stuff.

The above review caused me to contact Zvi @ WholeBrainTrading.
The man is the real deal. Surprisingly (because I'm a skeptic) he helped me quite a bit, practically from 1st contact.
Made me realize so many factors that I'd not thought of, along with ones that had crossed my mind, but I never acted upon.
If you're open to just a modicum of introspection, you'll not waste a dime by engaging with Zvi.

Your mind is what causes you to consistently lose, win, or flip between both, so often that you almost go mad.
Zvi gets to what truly matters, both in trade strategy, life strategy, and daily tactics.
He seeks to change your mind for the good; for your wallet and for your family.
