Your trading results aren’t just about charts and systems - they’re about you. Your wiring. Your personality.

In this second part of her 2-part Trading Personality series, Louise Bedford explores the Thinker and Relater trader types, and how your money personality shapes every trading decision you make.

You’ll discover:

• A quick recap of the ready-reckoner quiz to identify your trading style.
• Highlights from last week’s Director and Socialiser personalities.
• Why you can have more than one personality trait — and how 'masking' can hide your natural style for years.
• The Thinker Trader: disciplined, precise, and admired for their expertise — but prone to analysis paralysis and self-criticism.
• The Relater Trader: calm, steady, and empathetic — but often hesitant, procrastinating, or dependent on others for reassurance.
• How conflicts with your spouse or trading partner often come down to not recognising each other’s basic personality needs.
• Practical ways to lean into your strengths and manage your blind spots, so you trade more naturally and confidently.

Louise also explains why this framework is her own version of Hippocrates’ ancient study of the four temperaments — but applied to the trading world.
