Logan joins Samantha to catch up on his bullish housing view from January: Real Estate - Perfect Storm To Outperform  He explains why this is the unhealthiest housing market in the last 10 years, where rates should be based on economic data and where they are headed as 'replacement demand' continues to support a buoyant market for both existing and new housing sales.   ##### STAY CONNECTED TO LADUCTRADING: Website: https://laductrading.com/ Institutions: https://laductradingedge.com/ Algos: https://laductrading.com/indicators-info Discord: https://laductrading.com/discord Twitter for Macro: https://twitter.com/SamanthaLaDuc Twitter for Micro: https://twitter.com/LaDucTrading

The Psychology of Trading Risk
Solving the puzzle of trading psychology is front-and-center with Denise Shull, "trader psychologist to the stars", as she sits down with Samantha for an introspective look into overcoming fear, frustration and disappointment. Denise is expert at leading traders, investors and money managers to the real 'why' behind their less-than-peak performance, because "there's this magic of getting the negative (feeling) correct." Other pearls: "Individual traders have a tendency to think there is some magic bullet. If there is, it is understanding the market in your own words, then understanding yourself, and marrying the two." Denise is very much about empowering traders to listen to their intuition, and what is intuition? "If it's really intuition, its expertise that's gone from cognitive, linear knowledge in your head to pattern recognition in your body." Both discuss the frustrations of how few women there are in trading and finance to which Denise responds, "Brain research, and other research shows, that the more you are predicting other people and the more you know yourself, the better you manage money. Women tend to be naturally better at both of those things." We can't thank Denise enough for sharing her time and insights! https://therethinkgroup.net/ https://twitter.com/DeniseKShull   Come Fishing With Us: https://laductrading.com/pricing/​​​​  #WomenTraders #TradingPsychology #WTF
