Description

The summer break is over. The routines are back. And if you want 2026 to be different in your trading, it starts with one thing: follow-through.

In this episode of Talking Trading, Louise Bedford tackles one of the biggest performance blockers for traders - hesitation. Not the kind that keeps you safe, but the kind that keeps you small: waiting for certainty, delaying decisions, and watching opportunities pass while your confidence slowly erodes.

You’ll hear a sharp perspective on why a loss can be a useful teacher, while hesitation quietly drains momentum. Louise also reframes Mary Oliver’s line “one wild and precious life” into something far more practical for traders: what will you do with your one wild and precious morning?

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why hesitation is often more damaging than a loss
• The simple structure that helps traders follow their rules consistently
• Three practical moves to kick off 2026 with clarity: write your plan, run your scans, and take a first trade when your rules line up
• How to build confidence through process, not prediction

If you’ve had a strong plan on paper but struggled to execute it, this conversation will help you rebuild momentum and trade with more consistency in 2026.

Trade confidently. Louise Bedford is a best-selling author and founder of www.tradinggame.com.au and www.talkingtrading.com.au.
