243: Longtermism - The New Battle Cry for Short-Term Options Traders

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.

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.
