A Must for All Trading Libraries
17 April 2002
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I thought this one of the top five trading books I have ever read. Not only did he describe many new concepts-80/20 rule applied to your trading, psychological capital as different from financial capital and trade like the millionaires but he also showed me weaknesses in my trading and helped me correct these.
It has your basic rules but he assumes you have your own system and the ability to put on a trade-he just filled in a lot of blanks areas of my trading personality and that opened me up to new ways to do things.
The author has defintiely been kicking arounde for a long time and is a good example of a person who has probably forgot more than I will ever know. Trust me, if you read it you will buy it.

A good book about the mental aspects of trading.
5 Nov 1999
Format:Hardcover
This is the best book written about the psychological and mental aspects of trading. This book hasn't got much about technical analysis, entry or exit points, but tells you how to handle trading mentally.

Inventory of Emotions
10 Mar 2000
Format:Hardcover
Valuable for covering a very wide range of emotional challenges one faces when attacking the markets. Plenty of advice on how to begin to make the character changes that'll help you cope with all those storms. Vailliant reconciliation of seemingly opposing principles by means of a not- inconsiderable amount of new age energy flow ideas.
