In trading, you not only need a coach to get you on track, but to trade with you and watch you under fire and stress to make sure you don’t backslide. That’s real coaching. I bought a seat at the Chicago Board of Trade in 1980…..jumped into that jungle called the pits and traded 30-year bonds with the best the world had to offer. You not only had to find your edge and trade well, but you had to dodge pencil points that could stab you in any part of your body and then pick yourself up after a hoard of 200-pound traders shoved you down 15-20 steps.
