Dr. Gary Interview on Trend Following Radio

Dr. Gary Interview on Trend Following Radio

Dr. Gary was interviewed recently by Michael Covel on his Trend Following Radio.  Michael Covel is the author of two classic trading books: The Complete Turtle Trader and Trend Following.  Michael also runs Trend Following Radio with over 2.5 million listeners.  I am proud to have been invited onto the show by Michael.

This is a wide-ranging and lively interview where we discuss mindfulness, yoga, and a surprising turnaround in a particularly depressed patient by unconventional means that originally sparked my interest in mindfulness and the acceptance and commitment approach to psychology.  Michael has me define mindfulness; how I went from a clinical psychologist to integrating money, markets, trading, and investing into my work.  We talk about the importance of a trading process; looking at the lessons and research of psychologist and noble laureate Daniel Kahneman; the endowment effect; price action as a heuristic; the importance of an exit strategy; why mindfulness is the most important skill a trader can develop, and my new book, Trade Mindfully.

Michael Covel is an expert trader and an excellent interviewer who kept me on my toes with the insightful questions he asked and the topics we covered.   If you have an interest in trading and/or trading psychology, I think you will enjoy this interview.
