About Andrew:Andrew is primarily an intra-day futures trader focused on ES and NQ. Coming from a career in creative work and a background in extreme endurance sports, Andrew found markets to be the perfect combination of technical attention to detail and mental resolve.

At Long Winter Trading Company, we believe that trading is hard.
That’s what we love about it. Trading is perhaps the most difficult career path a person can take. They must face the unknown each day and do it with their own capital with countless variables at play. We don’t expect trading to come easy. We don’t expect trading to allow you to remain in your current state. We do expect that, when mastered, trading can provide both a lifestyle and knowledge of self that is well beyond the normal person.
Thoughtful creative expression has a way of changing a person. This site is simply a mechanism for self-change and the pursuit of that which has value.

Cleo and Baba Yaga join in this week to explore the topic of boredom in trading and how it can affect decision-making. The hosts discuss the importance of developing a strategy that is easy and relatively boring to trade, as heightened emotions can lead to poor choices. They also touch on the challenges of managing expectations and pressure as a trader. Baba Yaga shares his experience of relearning and finding a balance between excitement and steady decision-making, highlighting the need to acknowledge and set aside external pressures to perform well. Baba reflects on the recent conversation with 2yrflipper who had a clear and confident decision-making process and how that made him realize that he needed to work on his own decision-making and confidence. They also share their thoughts on Roaring Kitty’s recent livestream before sharing some Good/Bad/Ugly moments from the past week and someone makes the boldest prediction yet!

About Brian:Brian McAboy started trading back in the 1990's and has been helping traders become successful traders since January 2006.  He is a retired Project Engineer, Process Engineer and Quality Engineer.
During Brian’s first year of trading, he made the common mistake of underestimating what it takes to be a trader and didn’t pay the markets or this occupation the proper respect. As a result, he paid a hefty price of over $45,000, loads of personal capital and nearly lost his marriage over it.
Fortunately, Brian had the Quality Assurance experience working in manufacturing. When he applied the Quality Assurance methodology to his trading, he found that it works amazingly well, just like it has in the business world for decades to get struggling operations under control and predictably profitable.
He then also applied his business acumen to further build that solid foundation that nearly all traders don’t get to really give him a solid base and peace of mind. Brian teaches these same success practices and methods to traders so that they can fill the gap in their training as well and enjoy relaxed, profitable trading too.
Brian’s years of experience Quality Assurance and Business Consulting allow him to provide unique, effective and refreshing resources to the traders of the world. His focus is helping traders achieve self-sufficiency through the application of Quality and Business principles and practices that result in proficiency and success.

Joel MC:A dedicated and aspiring trader who has not only been a crucial part of Kyle's support system but has also embraced the trading journey with unmatched enthusiasm. As a power lineman, husband, and proud father of two wonderful daughters, Joel brings a unique blend of kindness, support, and motivation to the Band of Traders community.
Joel's venture into trading wasn't merely a financial pursuit; it was a desire to actively engage with the market beyond traditional buy-and-hold ETF investing. Trading, particularly in futures, became more than just a financial endeavor for Joel. It evolved into a genuine passion, a game he enjoys playi

Andrew (Formerly known as Bigfoot) joins Kyle and Cleo in the latest Humanity of Trading episode to discuss parts work… What that means and how he has applied it to his own trading. He emphasizes the need to understand and work with different parts of oneself and shares his experience of hiring different “parts”, such as the risk manager and the thrill-seeker, to create a cohesive trading approach. By recognizing and integrating these parts, traders can improve their decision-making and overall performance. Andrew talks through the different states of mind he employs in trading before giving Cleo some insights into her own team based on a worksheet we filled out before the recording. Andrew suggests that Cleo should recognize and embrace her playful and present side in trading, and also utilize her adaptability and improvisational skills when things don't go as planned. Cleo mentions that interruptions and going off the rails are common in her work, and she handles them by validating the situation and finding a way to bring it back on track. Cleo and Kyle share their initial resistance to this approach but acknowledge its potential benefits. They explore the tension between rule-based discipline and improvisation in trading, and how to find a balance between the two. Andrew emphasizes the need to identify moments of completion in trading and transition between different aspects of one's personality. They also discuss the importance of self-reflection, accepting all parts of oneself, and confronting negative self-talk.
