Just finished reading Mark Douglas' brilliant book 'Trading in the Zone' for the second time!
I remember that the first time I read it I found it very heavy going, but this time it all seemed to make a lot more sense. This is always the case with these sort of books.
If ever there was a 'Holy Grail' to be found in trading, it is the goal of being a 'consistent' trader - nothing else really matters, if you can crack this one, then you are pretty much guaranteed success! (Provided you're not competely useless at money management and have a workable trading strategy).
I never really realised how much in trading was about the psychology and not about the knowledge of the markets!
Mark goes quite deeply into belief systems and how we think, or have been programmed to think since birth and how we need to rework these beliefs to become a consistent trader.
Quite a lot of my time is spent reading this sort of material, as it can benefit you in all areas of life. Part of my trading strategy is to gen up on anything to do with the psychology of trading, you won't be disappointed if you do as well!
