Neda Changizi
Neda earned a master’s degree in Computer Science from Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, Canada. Following work as a software developer and computer science researcher for several organizations, Neda has taught since early 2019 in the computing department at the British Columbia Institute of Technology. It was back in 2015 though that Neda (very randomly!) came across an “Introduction to mindfulness for those who can’t meditate” class on Facebook, and reading that one post began a life-changing journey into the world of mindfulness meditation. Although it did take time to be comfortable with practicing mindfulness meditation every day, after seeing the values and benefits of that daily practice, Neda set about to hold virtual and in-person meetings to assist individuals in practicing meditation and establishing it as a regular part of their daily life.

If there is such a thing as a secret to the nature of trading, psychology of trading is it.

Going Deep to Level Up: Why Facing your deepest fears and insecurities can make you a more consistently profitable trader
Do you know exactly what you need to do to make profitable trades, but find yourself repeatedly getting in your own way? Being over-active in the market, revenge trading, ignoring limits or hesitating to take on risk because you are afraid to make a mistake? These are all ways that your mind and emotions can sabotage your trading process, even for the most technically-skilled trader. You bring yourself to every trade, so any limiting beliefs, negative behaviour patterns or self-doubt that linger in your subconscious, will determine your actions in the markets. This webinar explores how increasing self-awareness and facing your core self can improve consistency and profitability, and provides a practical roadmap for deep personal transformation.

BBT is a great community to be a part of to develop as a trader. The chatroom and the educational resources are invaluable no matter your experience.
All of the members are incredibly helpful and questions are encouraged – it’s a serious but welcoming place to learn.

Andrew, his book, the Bear Bull Traders (BBT) team and the BBT chat room have reinvented and redefined Day Trading.
There are many chat rooms out there, and I have seen and tried many of them, and there is nothing that comes close to BBT. Their classes and success webinars are worth their weight in gold.
