Invert the Problem: A Trading Thought Experiment

Sponsored by Pepperstone Charlie Munger used to do something interesting when he was stuck on a problem. Instead of asking how do I succeed, he'd ask how do I guarantee failure… then simply not do that. In this episode I take that idea and apply it to trading. How would you guarantee you never improved? How would you make sure a small loss became a big one? How would you design a routine that burned you out within a year? The answers are uncomfortably familiar. Sometimes the edge isn't something you add to your trading. It's what you stop doing.
