What You’ll Learn in Rande Howell’s Psychology Masterclass
This free masterclass is a complete trading psychology framework for building the mind you actually want to trade with. Rande Howell walks through why the brain you bring to the screen was never built for trading: it evolved for short-term survival and cannot tell the difference between risk and a threat to life, which is why a losing trade can feel like real danger and a winning streak can get you as cranked up as a hunt for food. You’ll learn how to rebuild that mind step by step, using the four archetypes every disciplined trader needs (the ruler for discipline, the warrior for courage, the caregiver for compassion, and the sage for clarity), and the emotional regulation tools that anchor them: diaphragmatic breathing, body awareness, mindfulness, and the inner observer.
The second half of the masterclass is about the patterns and beliefs that quietly sabotage trading accounts. Rande shows you how to spot overtrading, FOMO, revenge trading, and self-sabotage, and how to trace each one back to the belief that drives it. He teaches you how to confront the inner critic, mentor the “orphan” parts of yourself instead of silencing them, and turn failure into the brain’s primary teacher. The masterclass closes with the practical disciplines (daily practice, post-trade review, and structured breaks) that turn the empowered mind from an idea into the mind you trade with every day. The goal is simple: follow your plan every time, accept small losses well, and let probability do its work.

About the Instructor,
Rande Howell
Rande Howell is a trading psychology educator, licensed therapist, performance coach, author, and the founder of Traders State of Mind. He won the FinTech Award for Best Trading Psychology Educator and has written several books, including Mindful Trading: Mastering Your Emotions and the Inner Game and Unlocking Your Hidden Potential. Unlike most Chart Academy instructors, Rande’s edge is not a chart setup. His work is about the mind you bring into the moment of risk, teaching traders how to regulate their emotions, master themselves under pressure, and build a probability-based mind that can handle the uncertainty of putting real money on the line.
Rande spent years working as a licensed therapist, including helping people through serious conditions like panic disorders, before bringing that deep problem-solving skill to traders. He is open about his own journey too: a business decision that cost his family a couple of million dollars and the shame that reorganized him around what he really wanted to do, and surviving a heart transplant that opened his eyes to how he wanted to spend the rest of his life. Now in his 70s, his mission is bigger than any single trade. As he puts it: trading is the perfect form of self-mastery. If you do not master yourself, you will not master the markets.
