243: Longtermism - The New Battle Cry for Short-Term Options Traders
About this episode
Short-term trading moves fast—but without a long-term mindset, it often leads to burnout, overtrading, and inconsistency.
This episode explores why sustainable success in short-term options trading depends on thinking far beyond individual trades. It introduces the concept of longtermism and explains how focusing on process, risk management, and systems can dramatically change outcomes.
Learn why dopamine-driven decision-making is dangerous, how automation and rules reduce emotional pressure, and what it really means to measure success over years instead of days.
