CMC Alpha Trader's Insight Night with Rivkin

Most people do not lose money because they chose the wrong market. They lose because they could not stick to their plan when it mattered most.

Join us for an intimate evening of trading insights, drinks and canapés as we explore the psychology behind successful trading, helping you build better habits, manage emotions, avoid common behavioural traps, and stay focused on your trading plan.

Designed for active traders, this session focuses on building the habits and discipline that underpin long term trading success. Through practical examples and real world insights, Rivkin will explore the psychology behind consistent trading and the common mistakes even experienced traders continue to make.

Session topics

• Why a good trading plan can still lose money, and why consistently following it is a skill that must be developed

• The behavioural traps that catch almost every trader, including holding losing positions too long, chasing recent market moves, seeking confirmation of existing views, and throwing good money after bad

• How to manage winning and losing trades without second guessing, so you stop taking profits too early while allowing losses to grow

• The importance of having predefined rules that help you step away from the screen after a difficult run

• Measuring success by the quality of your decision making, rather than the outcome of any single trade
