Trading is 80% psychology and only 20% methodical. For this reason, if you aim to make it big in the trading world, your psychology must be in top condition. Trading is a psychological career; therefore, even when you know suitable trading methods, your trading procedures will be in vain if you do not have the excellent psychology to work those proper methods effectively. Thus your bad psychology will sabotage your practical strategies and your overall time in the market. And so, if professional trading is your aim, you must first attain good trading psychology. Apart from psychology, trading is also an emotional career. Many believe trading is a financial game. It is not. Trading is an emotional career with economic consequences. For this reason, learning to control your emotions during stressful, high-risk trades is essential for trading success. A trader requires a healthy balance between the logical thinking part of the brain and the emotional, spontaneous part of the brain. An unequal tilt on either side of the scale will throw a trader's market performance entirely off track. This book shares insight into how to access and use the mechanics of the mind that enable a trader to better deal with trading fear, anxiety, impatience, greed, gambling, bad trading habits, and behaviors, etc. A must-read for every serious trader because before you can master your trade, you must first master your mind.

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.

The emotions and mental states that dictate success or failure in Stock /Commodity and Forex Markets. Trading psychology refers to the aspects of an individual’s mental makeup that help determine whether he or she will be successful in buying and selling securities for a profit. Trading psychology is as important as other attributes such as knowledge, experience and skill in determining trading success. Discipline and risk-taking are two of the most critical aspects of trading psychology, since a trader’s implementation of these aspects is critical to the success of his or her trading plan. While fear and greed are the two most commonly known emotions associated with trading psychology, other emotions that drive trading behaviour are hope and regret. In this book on trading psychology, you will learn: • The importance of controlling your emotions when making trading decisions • How to master self-discipline and stick to a trading plan • How to learn from mistakes so you do not repeat them • How to refine your skills through simulated paper trading without risking money • How to have a confident mindset while maintaining a flexible and open mind when trading The best traders are always looking for an edge. Sometimes, the largest obstacle between you and trading successfully is yourself. Success can be more about your mindset and less about the markets. From managing and evaluating your own performance to setting rules and sticking to them, these titles will help you create and stick to a trading plan, manage stress, address risk, and not be derailed by emotions or preconceptions.

As a brand new self-directed investor and trader with zero knowledge of the business you are at a loss as to what information you actually do and do not need. You are a danger to yourself and to your account at this juncture, your mind and brain are telling you that you can make unlimited amounts of money from trading and investing in the financial markets. The good news is you can, the even better news is that you can do it from anywhere in the world you choose to be at any given moment as long as your head is in the game the right way. Beginner Trading Psychology 101 affords readers who are brand new to trading and investing the opportunity to really learn and expand their knowledge base as new traders from someone who came up on his own and trades and invests and trades with real money on a daily basis. The market is not a big secret and all of the information you need to make a trading decision is right out in the open on your trading chart. Much of what the current trading education industry is putting out is not only giving you information that is all backwards, is very unrealistic to do in the live markets, and can get you into a lot of trouble. There are very few books that deal with just how important the psychology of trading really is and brand new self-directed investors and traders have no idea what they up against and real money traders know what psychological mistakes you are going to make before you make them, beginner traders are who professionals get paid from in the live market. Beginner Trading Psychology 101 should be a must read for beginner and inexperienced traders looking to build their foundations and strategies. It is my hope that one day it could be taught as a course at all of the top business schools and should be required reading for anyone who has zero knowledge of trading and investing who wants to get into it and do it as a business. If you are a brand new self-directed investor and trader with zero knowledge of the business you should not skip one word of Beginner Trading Psychology 101.
