    I would sure like to find some top of the line real good book or two on Trading Psychology.

    Leads and comments appreciated.

  3. I think Trading in the Zone is the first stop. Lots of good stuff in that book.

    I am about 1/3 of the way through Brett Steenbargers book Enhancing Trader Performance and so far I think it is great. Not a beginner book, but I think it fits in well after you have some trading experience.

    Good luck.

    Thanks.........I have been reading Trading in the Zone off an on over a lot of years. I thought it was pretty good but something seemed lacking. Maybe it was his style of speaking or perhaps my way of thinking is just too different. I did like his emphasis on probability and do see that as an all important concept in trading.

    Thanks to both of you for commenting.

    I don't like or believe in him...........I don't think he is for me.

    But hey, he has been at it for 30 years or so...........a lot of people must like him.

  8. I threw that out there, like you said, he has a name. been a while since I've read him and probably couldn't remember what he wrote anyways. Besides, many trading stories/books, the author usually tells what he was thinking at the time or before and after. So, psychology is everywhere, the profession where one is the master of the obvious.
