My son learned a lot. Would highly recommend.

This book has made me ask myself some difficult questions within the way I think and feel about my trading style.It has helped me understand more about the emotional side of trading.Would recommend.

I've read lots of Trading books, none have been as effective as this one. The impact this book will have on your Trading is PROFOUND. If you are constantly derailing yourself, this is the book for you.

I have had this book in an audible version for ages but never got round to listening to it. Instead I have devoured every TA book I could lay my hands on trying to rectify all the trading issues I was having. I eventually ordered this book in hard format and it probably would have sat on my shelf unread but for the fact that this book arrived before the TA one that I ordered. I'M SO GLAD I FINALLY READ THIS BOOK! It has completely changed the way I view the markets, the way the markets move and my place within that movement.I'm so excited to finally get off the boom and bust roller coaster of fear, anxiety, hesitation, self-doubt, euphoria and recklessness and I know without a shadow of a doubt that this book contains the solution to the majority of my trading issues and will allow me to trade in an entirely different way! This book has changed my entire mindset and I feel like over the course of the 5 days it has taken me to read this book the blinkers have been shed and I now know with a cast iron certainty that I cannot EVER know or predict the outcome of any one trade and the best thing is IT DOESN'T MATTER! As long as my edge allows me to make money over a series of trades according to probability then my risk is just the price of me achieving this win rate.Literally a life changing A-HA! moment in my life! I just wish someone had beat me over the head with this book 11 months ago!Obviously I will have to work and continue working on these concepts and techniques as I have 11 months of bad habits already established that I have to suck the negative energy out of - but just knowing what I need to do to get where I want to be is invaluable to me. I'm not even kidding when I say I almost burst into tears when I started reading this book because I knew immediately I had found the solution to the trading problems that were causing me so much mental anguish.I'm just sad mark Douglas is no longer with us as I would have liked to thank him personally for writing this book. (Also check out his 4 part workshop on youtube it greatly complements and expands upon the concepts and techniques in this book)

I rarely write reviews but I was so impressed with this book that I thought it deserved another 5 stars. This book has completely filled the gap between my knowledge and being able to put it into practice. This gap has existed for some time having been trading for about 6 years, but this was exactly what I needed. I have read 15 or so trading books, some of which were specifically about trading psychology. They were great at explaining why we had certain emotions and how they were detrimental, advising don't be fearful, don't be greedy, stick to your plan, but I was left wondering how exactly do you not be fearful and not greedy, and how do you stick to the plan when your mind is screaming at you to do the opposite? Well, this book showed me exactly how.I had several light bulb moments when reading it, e.g. having to completely accept that once you've put on a trade, anything can happen. I guess I knew this subconsciously but never really believed it. I always expected the trade to go my way, otherwise why would I put it on in the first place? Then I'd get disappointed if my stop loss was hit and thought it meant my strategy was wrong, and then being left confused as to what I should do the next time. This book explains how to view the market differently to neutralise those emotions that interfere with your decision making - being worried about missing out or losing, causing you to jump in/out of a trade too early/late. It explains that you cannot know what happens after you get into a trade and shouldn't want to because it is completely out of your control, but that if you have a decent strategy, the probability is that you will win more times than you will lose as long as you apply it consistently. All sounds like common sense but without reading this book, I would never have mastered the emotional side well enough to do this. I have only traded twice since finishing the book but I noticed an immediate benefit in my mindset, being able to assess the market and the information it's giving me much more objectively.Some of the other reviews mention that the book is a bit wordy and repetitive which it is, but I personally feel that I benefited hugely from having the information reinforced in this way. I cannot recommend this book highly enough for anyone struggling to get good results, because the chances are that you have a good strategy, but are just not applying it properly on every trade.

And on time
