Strategies for traders to master the most important trading tool – their minds.
Psychology is 80% of the high-stakes trader's game. And within the mind of any successful trader exist surprisingly similar emotions and psychological beliefs. The 21 Irrefutable Truths of Trading introduces these values and beliefs, then explains how traders can and must work to understand and harness these beliefs, and gain the psychological edge necessary to win in today's all-or-nothing trading battlefield. Divided into two parts, the first focusing on common strengths and weaknesses, the second on ways to enhance the strengths and control the weaknesses while trading, The 21 Irrefutable Truths of Trading introduces:
- Techniques to develop certainty, intuition, and discipline.
- Technical analysis and trading methodologies to trade more effectively.
- How to properly align trading with the movement of the market.
