You Don’t Need More Confidence - You Need More Trading Experience | Day Trading Psychology
In this episode of the Market Mamas (http://www.market-mamas.com) Podcast, futures trader and host Becky Gaskell (https://www.linkedin.com/in/becky-gaskell-market-mamas/) explores how real trading confidence is built through experience, discipline, and repeated execution - not by forcing yourself to feel confident.
She explains the difference between emotional confidence and evidence-based confidence, sharing how screen time, losses, risk management, journaling, and following your trading rules can gradually build trust in yourself.
Becky also discusses lessons from Paul Tudor Jones and Linda Bradford Raschke and shares a simple “evidence bank” exercise to help traders recognize their progress and build lasting confidence.
