Is it skill or luck? Something we may not often consider or evaluate when trading. But, by using performance data, you should be able to analyse how to better execute trades based on certain factors. Did you ever consider what sorts of markets you are better at trading in or are certain performance biases holding you back? In the second episode in our series on the psychology of trading, we look to answer these questions and more. We are joined by Clare Flynn Levy, Founder and CEO of Essentia Analytics and we welcome back Dr. Richard Peterson who is a psychiatrist, and the CEO of MarketPsych.
