The Trading Athlete: Winning the Mental Game of Online Trading: 397 (Wiley Trading)

hvery good book keeps you up to strength with the basics

afer reading this book, i can't help but wonder if the authors used 10 minute toughness10-Minute Toughness: The Mental Training Program for Winning Before the Game Begins and re-wrote it with a 'trading' type slant.this is a very good 'self help' book - in that it discusses one of the best ways to create goals (i have read many books on goal setting, the short chapter in this gives by far the best method of creating personal goals for you), however i question how great it would be at helping novice traders when the markets change direction against one's desired strategy - for this i think the book will only help with experience.also - it's incredibly expensive - there are much better self help books, which will give the reader more help in staying calm in strssful situations, focussing on strengths and positive self talk than this...

This book was recommended to me by my trading coach when I was struggling to get balance and consistency. The bottom line is to be successful as a trader really you need to know who you are, how you respond to the ups and downs of trading and break through the mental blocks.This book helped me do that and bring consistency into my trading. A good investment!Jason Scott OakesAuthor of Putting 'The Boot' On The Other Foot: Successfully Project Managing Yourself Out of Redundancy
