Trading Psychology Collection


Book Description

If You Want to Be Successful in Trading You Need to Buy This Book! In these four best-selling trading psychology books, you will find practical, immediately usable strategies to improve the way you trade. Control Your Inner Trader Self-control is probably the most important skill you need to acquire as a trader. Unfortunately, most trading psychology books can be very vague and short on specific strategies to take control of your mental state while trading. Trading psychology shares equal importance with money management and the trading system and yet most traders remain unaware of the importance of taking into account their trading psychology when designing a trading system. What traders need is an unambiguous trader psychology system that can easily slot into whatever system they are trading and enable them to trade their system according to their trading plan. Control Your Inner Trader draws on the experience of an eight-year trading veteran who is also a qualified therapist. Behavioral and therapeutic techniques are included in the book that is easy for anyone to follow. Overcome Your Fear in Trading The most prevalent emotion facing traders is fear.. Fear causes traders to exit trades too early ruining their equity curve. Fear causes traders to self-sabotage so they can fulfill their self-fulfilling prophecy of trading failure. Fear causes traders to find reasons to avoid taking trades that would have been winners. Fear causes traders to exit trades before they have a chance to get the move underway and then have the misery of seeing a profitable trade run away from them. There are many more destructive aspects to fear in trading and what is vital for the trader in order for them to succeed is to have a way of thinking about trading that eliminates fear from the trading process. How to Stop Over-Trading is the latest book in the trading psychology series of books by L.R. Thomas. This book zeroes in on the specific reasons traders take trades outside their trading plan and offers simple solutions to stop over-trading forever. The truth is that if a trader consistently trades outside their strategy, even on a demo platform, they are very unlikely to succeed in trading. If you are skewing your trading results by taking trades that you shouldn't, then this book could change your trading, for the better, forever. Patience Lack of patience also causes negative behaviors related to trading, such as not bothering to back-test the system, not keeping careful records, and not doing an end-of-day or end-of-week analysis of trading results to find areas of improvement. The feeling of 'things not moving fast enough' also causes traders to add too many trading systems to an already overloaded brain and not be able to focus properly on any one strategy to make it profitable The profitability of the trading system is profoundly impacted by these types of behaviors and turns what is a money-making system in theory, into a loss-making system in the real life.

Reader Reviews Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2018 Of the 3 book LR Thomas collection, Which I enjoyed very much, I found this one to be the most valuable. The entire series is excellent and has some effective solutions for the problems that plague many traders. What I found most valuable was that the author explained many of the same issues I face and provided some excellent advice. Just defining the problem was enlightening. And it's great to know that I have some new tools and techniques to help me get back on track. Raymond R I wish I had read this 90 days ago Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2014 I don't rate books very often but feel compelled to do so with this one. True story: In three months, I over-traded and gambled away approximately 25% of my life savings. This, despite the market making new highs almost daily. I was in despair, not knowing what to do. This book gives me hope. It gives me strategies to ensure I am trading appropriately, and if I had read this book beforehand I would certainly not have been so foolish with my money. TX Reader 2 Excellent book with plenty of ideas Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 20, 2015 Excellent book with plenty of ideas to help me in my trading. Have implemented some already and have found them helpful. Delores

An Inside Look at Trading in Today's Markets (Collection)


Book Description

A brand new collection of knowledge about today’s radically new market dynamics… 2 indispensable traders’ guides, now in a convenient e-format, at a great price! 2 indispensable books deliver profound insights into today’s markets — and translate deep knowledge into outsized profits! Today’s markets are radically different — and you can’t profit unless you understand how they’ve changed. Now, two breakthrough books give you powerful market insights you won’t find anywhere else — insights honed to reflect new realities, and deliver massive new profits. First, in The Playbook, Mike Bellafiore offers a complete course in becoming a truly great trader, whether you want to trade on your own or for someone else’s firm. Using the same high-intensity “boot camp” approach he uses to teach his own firm’s new traders, Bellafiore walks through actual trades, explains what the traders were trying to do, and offering brutally tough expert critiques. Trade by trade, he reveals how professional traders must think in order to succeed “under fire,” how they assess their own performance, and how they work relentlessly to improve. Using concrete, actionable setups drawn from his extensive experience, he illuminates support plays, bull-and-bear flags, opening drives, important intraday levels, bounce and fade trades, pullbacks, scalps, technical opportunities, consolidation, relative strength, market trades, and more. He also presents indispensable insights on psychology and trader development, based on his work with hundreds of traders on a major commodity exchange and an elite prop firm’s trading desk. Then, in Shock Markets, Robert I. Webb and Alexander Webb show you exactly how to transform crises into profits. They offer meticulous breakdowns of recent crises, revealing how these events impacted both individual stocks and overall markets, and helping you create detailed game plans for profiting from future shocks. They answer crucial questions like: What moves stock prices? What moves the overall market? How can you profit from catalysts that precipitate sudden sharp stock price movements? From regulatory decisions to macroeconomic reports, seemingly remote factors can have a huge, sudden impact on stocks. Shock Markets illuminates these catalysts, and demonstrates their shifting behavior during fads, fashions, bubbles, crashes, and market crises. The focus is completely practical: helping savvy traders uncover profit where others find only peril. From expert traders and trading instructors Mike Bellafiore, Robert I. Webb, and Alexander R. Webb
