Band of Traders - Together We Trade What is “Discipline?”
In this episode of Band of Traders, Kyle and guests Bear Goes Long, Cleo, and Baba Yaga dive into the critical topic of discipline in trading. Cleo shares her struggle to stick to her trading plan after a big loss, highlighting the importance of external accountability and rebuilding self-trust. Baba Yaga emphasizes clarity of goals as a foundation for disciplined trading, distinguishing it from adapting to new trading seasons, and explores how neurodiversity and personal discipline styles impact decision-making. Bear discusses overcoming the "lone wolf" trader mentality, while Kyle reflects on simplifying his process to avoid impulsive trades. Through candid personal stories and practical insights, the group offers valuable strategies for maintaining discipline and navigating the emotional challenges of trading.

Baba Yaga:
Solving problems, helping set goals, and refining processes is the bulk of Baba's passion. He does that in many contexts ranging from nonprofits to real estate firms and everything in between. He focuses on market structure through the lens of TPO charting and executes based on volume, misplaced large orders, and delta. He loves the opening range breakout and typically trades the market from the “inside out”.
Bear:
Bear made the transition from investing to trading at the beginning of COVID. After initial success with options, he quickly learned that his luck was greater than his skill and shifted his focus to futures. Bear has fully embraced the role of emotions and mental capital with the mindset that trading futures is purely an internal struggle that rewards patience, calm, bravery, focus, passion, and commitment. Beyond markets Bear finds joy in his community as a volunteer firefighter and EMT.
Cleo:
Cleo has been learning to trade for the past 3 years and is an active member of the Vanta community. She came to trading through the angle of personal development, and she sees trading as an amazing way to get to know oneself as well as expand one's capacities. Cleo's professional background is in leadership development and facilitation. She has facilitated thousands to communicate in authentic and compelling ways. She loves being in the seat of curiosity. Cleo has worked with executives, corporate groups, religious groups, middle school students, groups of women, families, and couples. Her current focus is the CA criminal legal system, advocating for holistic approaches such as restorative justice and community-based violence prevention. Having played in the crypto and futures markets for the last three years, Cleo sees trading as one of the most challenging things to undertake and is particularly interested in what it takes to become a consistently profitable and well-rounded trader.
