Recommended Mind Training Book Reviews Below you'll enjoy a great list of recommended books reviewed by a professional trader mind training. Beat the Forex Dealer Augustin Silvani - 2008 Reverse psychology or clever marketing ploy? We highly recommended it for exposing the “dirty little tricks” used by broker dealers on the other side of your trades. Unfortunately we couldn’t give it high marks because it is conflicted with the very strange perspective of a self described “manager of a successful currency fund” - MIGFX in Switzerland. Two reviewers, a mind trainer and a professional trader who traded 2M at MIG, give their thoughts on this book. Come Into My Trading Room, Dr Alexander Elder What an inviting title. In this book, Dr Elder shows us how to immunize ourselves against self-destructive psychological behavior, as he expands on his philosophy of Mind, Method and Money, weaving into the larger picture of balanced trading skills. Financial Freedom Through Electronic Trading by Van K Tharp Ph.D Dr. Tharp's unique situation as a trader and a behavioral psychologist enables him to impart some very insightful, useful advice on training your mind for higher trading performance. Maximizing Performance with Focus and Discipline by Ari Kiev An analysis of a trader’s psyche. Although trading is widely acknowledged as an art, albeit one that requires incredible innate intuition and feel for the markets, Kiev prescribes ‘getting into the zone’– a psychological state that one can create – for those aiming to achieve a higher level of performance. His anecdotes, case studies, interviews and tales of the ‘Master Trader’ are both instructive and insightful. A compelling read. The 21 Irrefutable Truths of Trading 232 pages by John Hayden Strategies for traders to master the most important trading tool­­their minds. Psychology is 80% of the high-stakes trader's game. This book shows you how to become a winning trader by learning how not to lose. Divided into two parts, the first focusing on common strengths and weaknesses, the second on ways to enhance the strengths and control the weaknesses while trading. Trade Your Way to Financial Freedom Van K. Tharp If you are asking yourself "How can I make a living from daytrading?" This book is for you. Excellent coverage of the 10 parts of trading system design: 1) Market Selection, 2) Market Direction, 3) Setups, 4) Market entry, 5) Protective stops, 6) Market reentry, 7) Taking profits, 8) Position sizing, 9) Portfolio selection, 10) Multiple systems. Trading For a Living Dr. Alexander Elder Although this is an older title I consider it a classic in terms of being one of the first books to address methods for mental training when trading, timeless methods from a practicing psychiatrist and trader that still stand today.
