Mastering Trading Stress

In Mastering Trading Stress, author Ari Kiev—a psychiatrist who specializes in stress management and works extensively with traders—offers examples, transcripts of conversations, and personality profiles of real-life traders to illustrate how stress affects their ability to perform at their best. Drawing on his vast experience, Kiev describes a variety of practical techniques that can be used to handle destructive emotions and out-of-control feelings, including his “Most Basic” stress busters, and tells what to do if a breakdown should occur.

Even the best trading system can prove disastrous if the trader doesn't have the ability to stick to their strategy. Featuring real-life case studies, The Psychology of Trading presents a step-by-step, goal-oriented approach to trading that emphasizes ways to keep emotions in check, overcome self-doubt, and focus clearly on a winning strategy.

Andrew Aziz describes technology, strategy, and psychology as the three essential pillars of successful trading, and he knows that the psychological aspects of trading are the most likely to be underestimated or even ignored. He wrote Mastering Trading Psychology to help traders enhance their understanding of this crucial pillar of trading and to strengthen their "mental skills" in order to maximize their performance.This practical and highly entertaining book takes its readers inside the minds of ordinary retail traders who contributed more than 175 accounts of their successes, their failures, their joys, their struggles, and, most of all, what they have learned as traders. Some are experienced, but many are relative beginners. They represent an intriguing diversity in terms of where they live, their ages, their levels of education, their everyday jobs, and how they tell their stories. All are members of Andrew's trading community, and their enthusiastic response to his invitation to share their experiences and insights was overwhelming. Complemented by Andrew's explanatory text, the stories are told in the contributors' own words, minimally edited for length, clarity, and privacy.

As a brand new self-directed investor and trader with zero knowledge of the business you are a danger to yourself and your account. You will need to develop mental toughness if you wish to compete in the live markets against the best traders in the world. The good news is you can do it; the even better news is that you can do it fairly quickly if you follow the suggestions in this book. There is really no easy way to do it honestly, there is a certain progression of steps all new traders must go through to be able to drive their own money train. Some of the first steps are to study and learn money management, gain a hold on your own trading psychology, and compose a rules based trading amongst others. There are no short cuts and what I just said to study and learn can take quite a while. It all depends on you and how much time and effort you are willing to put in to learn what needs to be known to be a successful market participant. You are in control of your investing and trading business and once you have your psychology and emotions under control you will achieve consistency and be able to make as much money in the live markets as you desire. There is also a lot of fear involved in trading and as a professional investor and trader you must be able to pull the trigger on a position and do it without hesitation or fear. When traders make a mistake in their analysis, which causes them to take a loss, they can develop a fear of being wrong all the time. This can psychologically prevent them from “pulling the trigger” when they need to. There are some suggestions in this book to help you overcome the fear of pulling the trigger in the live market.
