The Emotional Intelligence Behind Market Mastery

What if everything you've been taught about trading and investing is fundamentally backward? While Wall Street worships at the altar of rationality and mathematical models, former trader and neuropsychologist Denise Shull reveals a counterintuitive truth: our feelings, not our intellect, drive our financial decisions. This revolutionary perspective has transformed how elite traders approach the markets, making Shull one of Wall Street's most sought-after performance coaches. Her work even inspired the character of Wendy Rhoades in the hit show "Billions." The edge you've been searching for might not be in better algorithms or more complex models, but in understanding the psychological dimensions that truly govern market behavior.
