Dr. Reid holds a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology and is a trained psychotherapist. He has spent most of his career working as a trading coach. Over the last 14 years he has worked with all sorts of traders, but specializes in helping traders who have Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD)-like symptoms.
ADD has two sides. On the upside, it makes people creative, spontaneous and flexible. One seeks out risk and enjoys throwing one’s hat in the ring. These folks have amazing energy and focus, when they are really interested in something.
On the downside, individuals with ADD-like symptoms lack discipline. They reinvent the wheel; they overtrade. They can’t follow their rules, even when they want to. Often, ADD traders work very hard, but have little to show for it. They get totally absorbed in what they do, but they don’t actually work very efficiently.
In terms of results, individuals with ADD-like symptoms tend to be either boom-bust traders or breakeven traders.
In this 45-minute presentation Dr. Reid will present a simple self-test attendees can take to determine whether they have ADD-like symptoms. He will discuss the ways in which these tendencies sabotage trading and what can be done about it.
