Over his career, Robart van Eyden, author of “Badass Trader” has taught, presented, researched, published and blogged everything stock market-related.  He has also led and managed three stock-broking firms and one international CFD (contract for difference) provider.  His trading journey has now come full circle: having initially applied artificial intelligence in predicting and selecting stocks when AI was in its infancy, he is currently practicing the significantly more straightforward “going back-to-basics” approach by following a well-defined trading strategy, while eliminating any emotional biases.  He aims to help traders achieve long-term success in the stock market by focusing on method and mind.
