Mindfulness in trading can be of significant benefit to traders.  Mindful trading will positively impact traders and their trading in a number of ways:

• Reduce loss aversion
• Mitigate the disposition effect (i.e., cutting winning trades short and letting losing trades run)
• Help traders get into “the zone”
• Reduce the negative effects of cognitive biases and heuristics on trading decisions
• Directly reduce stress
• Help traders see the market more clearly
• Increase awareness of the trader’s internal state and how it impacts their trading
• Increased ability to maintain focus on the market and the trading task at hand while trading, even when emotions are running hot
• Increase internal emotional regulation
• Other positive effects on trading and trading behavior
