The Trader Mindset That Keeps Scott Bauer in the Game

Scott Bauer joined Business First AM to share the trading philosophy he has built over decades in the market. From knowing when to walk away from a losing trade to why he always carries downside protection, Scott did not hold back.

Scott covers:

  • The hardest thing most traders never learn how to do and why it separates the good ones from the rest
  • Why being right less than half the time can still make you a consistently profitable trader
  • His personal approach to staying long in a bull market without losing sleep over a potential pullback
  • Why he buys downside protection when it is cheap and why he is completely fine if it expires worthless
