Trading Psychology Starts with Awareness — Just Like Dieting
🥩🍟 What do mayonnaise, chips, and trading psychology have in common?
In this humorous yet powerful talk, Tom Hougaard uses a personal story about dieting to deliver a deep insight into trading psychology. Just like hidden calories can wreck your health goals, unconscious decisions can sabotage your trading performance.
💡 The key lesson? It all starts with awareness. Recognizing those small daily missteps — whether in eating or in trading — is the first step toward transformation and profitability.

00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,680
it all starts with awareness every
00:00:02,639 --> 00:00:09,200
morning I go on the scale and I noticed
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:12,719
a trend a trend of I am getting heavier
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:14,799
and heavier and so I began I'm sure you
00:00:12,719 --> 00:00:17,359
people don't have that problem perfect
00:00:14,799 --> 00:00:19,760
as you are but with Dan you know we like
00:00:17,359 --> 00:00:21,760
our bacon and whatnot and I look down on
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:23,760
the scale and going I'm a little heavier
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:26,160
than I was last month and the month
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:29,320
before so you know I do the typical
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:34,079
approach you know I I try Atkins I try
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:38,320
Fibonacci I try keto I try stochastics I
00:00:34,079 --> 00:00:41,920
try paleo I try Ballinger bands I try
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:44,000
calorie counting I try a weekend course
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,920
am I getting through to you here i don't
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,840
want to lull your sleep either i love to
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:50,559
make it entertaining but I actually have
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:52,320
an important message that true
00:00:50,559 --> 00:00:55,120
profitable trading starts with an
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:57,760
awareness of where you keep going wrong
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:59,760
and so it happened that I signed up to
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:02,480
this app it didn't cost a terrible lot
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:06,560
of money 10 pounds for four months and
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:07,880
in there I lock what I eat and it's
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:11,760
quite
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:13,920
fun so it happened last week that I was
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:16,560
presented with a steak now I don't eat
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:19,200
meat very often uh you know when you hit
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:20,880
that age of 50 and beyond you try to cut
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,720
down your meat and your dairy because
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,960
you want to live long and healthy and
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:26,960
prosperous life but there it was and you
00:01:24,960 --> 00:01:29,479
can't say no when someone's made it and
00:01:26,960 --> 00:01:33,200
with a good steak comes
00:01:29,479 --> 00:01:35,759
chips and what comes with chips well
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:37,520
mayonnaise of course or for you ladies
00:01:35,759 --> 00:01:39,439
and gentlemen here in the United Kingdom
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:42,960
vinegar if it was fish and chips and
00:01:39,439 --> 00:01:45,520
vinegar till your lips were blue but we
00:01:42,960 --> 00:01:47,600
Dan we like our mayonnaise and so I took
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:50,399
a good old walaba mayonnaise and dashed
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:53,200
it over the chips but when it came to
00:01:50,399 --> 00:01:57,040
registration time what we call the day
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:59,840
of reckoning I added 350 calories for
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:01,960
the chips and then this harmless little
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:04,320
looking wallup of
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:06,960
mayonnaise handsomely dashed on top of
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:09,119
the chips was another 300 calories and I
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:11,319
looked at it and I became aware that
00:02:09,119 --> 00:02:14,640
that
00:02:11,319 --> 00:02:17,760
little misstep if you call it that had
00:02:14,640 --> 00:02:19,280
added 750 calories to my daily intake
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:22,239
and considering I'm trying to keep
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:24,879
myself to 2100 calories I'm thinking did
00:02:22,239 --> 00:02:27,680
I was it really worth it was it worth to
00:02:24,879 --> 00:02:29,360
eat a third of your daily intake on a
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,280
couple of chips and some mayonnaise and
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:33,680
the answer is no but it started with an
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:35,360
awareness so the next time I had chips I
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,800
said "Yeah no mayonnaise for me thank
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:39,599
you very much i think I had something
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:42,239
nicer than mayonnaise." The same goes
00:02:39,599 --> 00:02:42,239
with trading
