Trader Checklist
The author of Thinking, Fast and Slow, Daniel Kahneman, is a psychologist who won the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences in 2002. The book, published in 2011, explores the two systems of thought that drive our decisions. System 1, is fast and intuitive, and System 2, is slow and deliberate. Checklists, engage System 2, which is slower, more deliberate, and logical. By using checklists, traders can ensure that important steps and considerations are not overlooked, countering the impulsive nature of System 1. This is particularly valuable in high-stakes environments like finance, medicine or aviation, where missing a step due to reliance on intuition can have serious consequences.

All major trading instruments trade in dollars. Rolling correlations are used to predict which instruments are likely to move together. A positive correlation means that the values of two variables move in the same direction, a negative correlation means they move in opposite directions.
