Hosted by Edmund Lee, President &amp; CEO of the Caylum Trading Institute, Short Stops is your weekly stock market update featuring the top trading news, tips and stock picks in Metro Manila and around the world."The traders who are uncoachable are the ones who refuse to seek a coach out to begin with." - Dr. Brett Steenbarger (https://traderfeed.blogspot.com/)This one is for our guys. Our junior and senior traders. Our team leaders and trainers. The ones who walk into the office every morning with the determination to make money but with an even greater desire to continue learning, adapting and growing with this market. Mike said it best - you need to love what you do but more importantly, you have to want to get better and better at it every single day. It's a performance sport. You are, in so many ways, an athlete. You have to work hard, show up and strive to be the best."Even successful traders need to keep learning and we need to give them that space to grow. Whether you're making one million dollars or three million dollars a year, it shouldn't stop there." - Mike Bellafiore, co-founder of SMB Capital (http://smbcap.com/)In this episode of Short Stops, our Director of Marketing &amp; Operations, Eleanore Lee-Teo, flies out to New York City after being granted an exclusive interview with clinical psychologist &amp; performance coach, Dr. Brett Steenbarger, as well as the Mike Bellafiore, co-founder of SMB Capital, one of the leading proprietary trading desks in the city. With a focus on developing elite traders in the industry, these are only a few of the insights shared by these trading greats:- The value of having a Purpose- Why training is important - how to increase your odds of success and what can you can do to maximize that- "You have to trade like I do." - One of the worst messages that a coach can relay to their team- "The best traders focus on the process and not just their P&amp;L. The best traders are never satisfied.

Hosted by Edmund Lee, President &amp; CEO of the Caylum Trading Institute, Short Stops is your weekly stock market update featuring the top trading news, tips and stock picks in Metro Manila and around the world. "The traders who are uncoachable are the ones who refuse to seek a coach out to begin with." - Dr. Brett Steenbarger (<a href="https://traderfeed.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://traderfeed.blogspot.com/</a>) This one is for our guys. Our junior and senior traders. Our team leaders and trainers. The ones who walk into the office every morning with the determination to make money but with an even greater desire to continue learning, adapting and growing with this market. Mike said it best - you need to love what you do but more importantly, you have to want to get better and better at it every single day. It's a performance sport. You are, in so many ways, an athlete. You have to work hard, show up and strive to be the best. "Even successful traders need to keep learning and we need to give them that space to grow. Whether you're making one million dollars or three million dollars a year, it shouldn't stop there." - Mike Bellafiore, co-founder of SMB Capital (<a href="http://smbcap.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://smbcap.com/</a>) In this episode of Short Stops, our Director of Marketing &amp; Operations, Eleanore Lee-Teo, flies out to New York City after being granted an exclusive interview with clinical psychologist &amp; performance coach, Dr. Brett Steenbarger, as well as the Mike Bellafiore, co-founder of SMB Capital, one of the leading proprietary trading desks in the city.

Short Stops - #27: The One Where We Went to New York (Dr. Brett Steenbarger & Mike Bellafiore)

There are few people in this world who spend as much time with active traders as Mike Bellafiore, who has been a Managing Partner at SMB Capital since 2005. I think his unique perspective on trading and traders themselves is the perfect compliment to a lot of the other guests that we’ve had on the podcast. In this episode, Mike talks about some of the qualities that he’s seen in the more successful traders as well as common mistakes he sees being made on the desk. Throughout the conversation, Mike gives us an inside look into the trading floor, how they separate traders into teams and the way the more experienced, proven traders help the younger up and comers. I really enjoyed this one! Click here to see all of the Charts mentioned in this episode
