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.
