Peter Castle started trading in 1995. Whilst going through the process of learning trading and listening to many of the great trainers and teachers of trading, he noticed how many of themes focused on lessons that had a spiritual component. He realised how trading the markets can push you to the edge of desperation, which then impacts you mentally and can lead you into downward spiral of negativity that manifests poor performance and eventually mental burn out. Peter started to incorporate some of the teaching of his learnings from Buddhism, into a mental process which helped him to cope better with demands placed on him as a trader. This was to have a hugely positive impact on how he managed himself in markets, how he processed information and how he made trading decisions. Peter has now shared his reflections on this journey in a new book ‘The Zen Trader: How Ancient Wisdom Can Help You Master Your Mind and the Markets’  You can find out more about Peter on his ‘easy share trading’ website: https://easysharetradingsystems.com.au/ The book ZenTrader can be purchased on the Harriman-House website here: https://www.harriman-house.com/zentrader AlphaMind Podcast Sponsor: TradeStation Global TradeStation Global is a multi-asset trading platform with access to international markets.
