Trading Superstitions and Weird Habits — Ep. 6

In this episode of the podcast the hosts explore the strange rituals and superstitions traders develop to feel more in control of the markets. Topics include lucky numbers like eight, wearing all white before trading, fortune cats and lucky coasters, avoiding trading on Fridays or birthdays, and the psychology behind lucky and unlucky stocks. The conversation moves into a rapid fire round covering buying the dip versus cutting losses, one big win versus consistent small gains, and whether paper trading is worthwhile. The hosts close out with a Singapore focused segment on DBS as a comfort stock, the appeal of REITs for dividend income, and why US stocks tend to feel more exciting than local ones despite carrying more risk. 🔔 Subscribe for more episodes and our weekly “Ask Me Any Stocks” Friday sessions. #podcast #stockmarket #debtfree #financialcrisis #mindset #tradingpsychology Timestamps: 00:00 intro and cold open on trading rituals 01:01 welcome to the podcast and todays topic 01:38 defining weird habits vs superstition 02:00 working out before the market opens 03:20 lucky numbers like eight in trades and prices 04:27 desk placement and the old cashier seat story 06:35 the lucky fortune coaster 08:14 the trader with the fully decorated desk 09:09 the army of fortune cats 10:47 checking in on why these rituals matter 11:22 wearing white before trading 14:03 uniqlo white shirts and staining rules 14:40 reddit thread on trading superstitions 16:54 never trading on friday the 13th 18:20 triple witching and quarter end volatility 18:41 the spin three times and pray ritual 20:03 refusing to check your portfolio first 23:19 avoiding trading on your birthday 24:16 listening to a playlist before the open 25:14 chinese new year luck and margin calls 26:46 lucky stocks and emotional attachment 28:52 unlucky stocks and self fulfilling prophecy 31:23 caffeine and exercise as focus tools 32:30 rapid fire questions begin 32:38 buy the dip or cut losses 34:50 one big win or consistent small gains 36:56 is paper trading a waste of time 40:37 know one stock deeply or many a little 43:17 dbs as singapores comfort stock 46:55 reits that singaporeans refuse to sell 53:35 us stocks vs singapore stocks excitement 57:52 wrap up and closing thoughts 📈 | FREE Online Masterclass on Entire Framework: https://www.onegoodtrend.com/registra... 💬 | Want to get TOP SG stocks ideas like these by WhatsApp LIVE as it happens for FREE?
