My guest today is Annie Duke, an author, corporate speaker, and consultant in the decision-making space.\\xa0As a former professional poker player, Annie won more than $4 million in tournament poker before retiring from the game in 2012. Prior to becoming a professional player, Annie was awarded a National Science Foundation Fellowship to study Cognitive Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania.\\xa0Annie is the co-founder of The Alliance for Decision Education, a non-profit whose mission is to improve lives by empowering students through decision skills education. She is also a member of the National Board of After-School All-Stars and the Board of Directors of the Franklin Institute.

The topic is trading and gambling.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

  • Focusing on the process instead of the outcome
  • Understanding that it\\u2019s about your return, not you winning percentage
  • Recognizing that in investing, consistency is unnatural
  • Thinking probabilistically
  • Maximizing your expectancy
  • Understanding that a loss doesn\\u2019t necessarily reflect bad thinking
