The First Trades – 5 Psychological Traps That Almost Destroyed Jesse Livermore

Every trader begins with confidence, but few survive the lessons that follow.
In this episode, we step inside the mind of Jesse Livermore, the man often called the greatest trader who ever lived — to uncover the five psychological traps that nearly ended his career before it began.

You’ll hear the story not as history… but as experience.
Through Livermore’s own reflections, you’ll see how confidence turns to illusion, how success becomes addiction, and how every mistake in the market is a mirror of the mind behind it.

This is not a lesson about charts or indicators — it’s about the trader within.
Because before you can master the market, you must first understand yourself.

🎧 What You’ll Learn:
• How early success creates the illusion of control
• Why “being right” can become the most expensive addiction
• How anger and revenge lead traders to ruin
• The real difference between awareness and arrogance
• Why every loss is tuition — and how to learn without denial

If you’ve ever felt lost, frustrated, or trapped in the same trading patterns, this story will remind you: the market never punishes you — it only reflects you.
