More than 97% of Traders Believe Psychology Plays an Important Role but Only 34% Have a Concrete Strategy in Place for Managing Emotions

PHILADELPHIA (PRWEB) DECEMBER 07, 2021

Mental Game Coach and Author Jared Tendler today released the results of one of the largest research surveys ever conducted about how mental factors impact trading performance. In cooperation with The Convergent Trading Community, Trader’s Army, Anthony Crudele, SteadyOptions, and the Microefutures Trading Community, this proprietary research was conducted by Jared Tendler from November 9-23, 2021, capturing responses from more than 1,200 traders from around the world on a series of questions regarding trading psychology.

“The results of this survey indicate the vast majority of traders recognize that their performance is significantly impacted by mental and emotional factors, yet only 34% have a concrete system in place for managing their emotions,” said Jared Tendler, Mental Game Coach and Author. “This points to a massive disconnect between the beliefs and the mental skill of most traders–they either fail to recognize this inconsistency, or they don’t know how to address it.”

Results from the survey were highly consistent regardless of age, gender and geography, with key take-aways including:

• 97.15% of the traders surveyed believe that psychology plays an important role in trading, and 95.97% believe that emotions can negatively affect their trading decisions.
• 91.39% agree with the following statement: “I recognize when issues with emotions such as fear, greed, anger, overconfidence or lacking confidence impact trading performance.”
• In terms of emotions that traders struggle with most frequently, fear ranked highest with 42.9% of the respondents, followed by lacking confidence (21.81%).
• 30.59% of the traders who participated ranked “Improving patience and discipline” as the action that would most help their trading performance, followed by “Finding a way to manage and resolve my emotions” (27.33%) and “Developing a better system, strategy or algorithm” (22.91%). Other choices included “Educating myself through webinars, video courses and offline events” (8.87%), “Participating in a trading room or group” (4.97%), “Networking with other traders” (3.18%), and “Reading trading books and blogs” (2.01%).
• When it comes to managing emotions, only 34.25% of the traders surveyed reported having a concrete strategy in place.

“Retail traders tend to struggle more in situations of extremely high or low market volatility, like we’ve seen in several indices recently,” said Morad Askar of Convergent Trading. “This kind of activity can cause traders to second guess themselves as changes in market behavior can be abrupt. Changing market dynamics can lead to an erosion of emotional capital, increased trading errors, and frustration. This is when accountability and peer group-support really matter.”

Jared Tendler is the author of the recently published book The Mental Game of Trading: A System for Solving Problems with Greed, Fear, Anger, Confidence and Discipline (2021). The Mental Game of Trading helps traders to recognize and correct the hidden mental game problems negatively impacting their trading performance.

Video-based Curriculum Provides a Complete Preparation System for the World Series of Poker and Other Major Tournaments

PHILADELPHIA (PRWEB) SEPTEMBER 15, 2021

Mental Game Coach and author Jared Tendler today launched The Mental Game Tune Up for Tournament Poker, a video-based course that helps players to prepare for tournament play. The course is available for purchase now at https://jaredtendler.com/mental-game-tune-up/.

“I’ve been coaching elite poker players for a dozen years, and have based this course on the elements that I use to help players win bracelets and major titles in both live events and online events,” said Jared Tendler, Mental Game Coach and Author. “Just as pilots go through a systematic checklist each and every time they prepare to fly, The Mental Game Tune Up course provides a specific, practical framework for poker players to go through each time they prepare for a big tournament. It’s designed to help players be ready to capitalize on the opportunity available in big tournaments, so they can fly higher and avoid crashing.”

The Mental Game Tune Up builds upon the concepts introduced in Jared Tendler’s highly acclaimed books, The Mental Game of Poker 1 (2011) and The Mental Game of Poker 2 (2013), both of which have sold thousands of copies and are recognized as essential resources for poker players. It contains a series of conceptual and practical videos that walk players through a series of simple, step-by-step instructions and proven techniques to address issues such as tilt, swings in variance, burnout, focus, and handling intense pressure. The video format of the course is both agile and comprehensive, and allows for an experience much like a live client session by demonstrating how to utilize the concepts and techniques in actual practice.

“Working through this course has made me feel more prepared to play this WSOP than I have felt in the last 10 years, “said elite poker player Matt Affleck. “Jared has a unique ability to connect the dots and help me identify the actual cause of my problems. The skills I’ve learned have also helped me in golf and the rest of my life.”

The Mental Game Tune Up consists of specific modules addressing topics that poker players need to master in order to succeed in tournament play—goal setting, knowing your game, avoiding burnout, getting into the zone, thriving under pressure, maintaining focus at the table, and training the decision-making process. It also includes a series of videos called “Coaching the Pros,” featuring real coaching sessions with two notable professional poker players: Diego Ventura, the 26th ranked online poker player in the world, with lifetime winnings of over $6.6 million, and Matt Affleck, one of the most popular players in the world, with total live earnings of over $3.3 million, plus several million more won online. The videos demonstrate how top poker players prepare for tournaments by walking through a concrete, repeatable series of steps. This is the first time these kinds of coaching videos have been available to players outside of Jared Tendler’s private client base.

“I credit a lot of my success to working with Jared,” said elite poker player Diego Ventura. “His unique process has helped me identify the real issues I was dealing with and solved them one by one.”

The World Series of Poker (WSOP) is the longest-running, largest, richest and most prestigious gaming event in the world, dating back 50 years to 1970, and having paid more than $3.3 billion in total prize money to date. With the WSOP scheduled from September 30-November 23, 2021, now is the perfect time for players to start preparing.

Free Digital Asset Helps Traders to Recognize, Cultivate and Use Intuition Effectively

PHILADELPHIA (PRWEB) JUNE 28, 2021

Mental Game Coach and Author Jared Tendler today launched a free eBook for traders, Leverage Your Intuition: Learn When to Trust It, When Not to, and How to Generate More of It. The new eBook is available for download now at https://jaredtendler.com/intuition-ebook/.

The Leverage Your Intuition eBook serves as a companion piece to Jared Tendler’s recently published book The Mental Game of Trading: A System for Solving Problems with Greed, Fear, Anger, Confidence and Discipline(2021), ranked as the #1 new release for Futures Trading on Amazon.com. The Mental Game of Trading helps traders to recognize and correct the hidden mental game problems negatively impacting their trading performance.

“One of the challenges I faced while writing The Mental Game of Trading was to accept that I couldn’t fit everything into one book,” said Jared Tendler, Mental Game Coach and Author. “While I couldn’t be happier with how the book turned out, intuition was a topic I ultimately cut, and it pained me because it is a critical topic for traders. I have some unique theories and advice about intuition that I couldn’t just leave on the cutting room floor. So, as a follow up, I am now offering this bonus eBook dedicated specifically to the topic of intuition.”

Leverage Your Intuition will provide an excellent introduction to Jared Tendler’s work for people who haven’t yet read The Mental Game of Trading, but will also add value for those who have read his previous books, by further explaining concepts that build on the content. The goal of the eBook is to make intuition more recognizable, so traders can cultivate it and use it effectively. Readers will learn when intuition is more likely to be accurate — and inaccurate — making it easier to know when and when not to trust it.

Tendler further explains, “The key to being able to trust your intuition is to get clarity on where it comes from. For many traders, intuition feels like a stranger — it shows up out of the blue and they’re not sure what to make of it, so it’s easy to disregard. But as it turns out, it isn’t always so random. In this free eBook, I provide strategies for recognizing and producing intuition more deliberately. This material has helped many of my clients over the years and across a variety of industries, and I hope that it will help readers to improve their execution.”

The Mental Game of Trading is notably different from other trading psychology resources because of the level of detail it provides, in combination with the step-by-step system to address and solve specific problems. The book mirrors a personal coaching experience with Jared Tendler by helping traders to understand the dynamics leading to costly errors, and provides a roadmap to correct the most common mistakes.
