Reset After the Drop: Rebuild Your Edge with Process Over Prediction

The Trader's Mindchat Show

The market just took a nosedive—and if you're feeling rattled, you're not alone.

In this episode of Trader’s Mindchat, Mike Lamothe breaks down exactly how to reset after a rough week, whether you were sidelined in cash, caught off guard, or trying to short into the chaos. Drawing from over two decades of experience, Mike walks through his personal process for managing risk, interpreting warning signals, and staying mentally sharp—even when the market gets ugly.

This isn’t about predicting the bottom. It’s about building a repeatable process that keeps you in control. If you’ve ever felt the urge to tweak your system without real data, or trade just to “do something,” this episode is a must-listen.
