The Mental Game Of Trading

A step-by-step system for mastering trading psychology. Think about your most costly and recurring trading mistakes. Chances are that they’re related to common errors, such as chasing price, cutting winners short, forcing mediocre trades, and overtrading. You’ve likely tried to fix these errors by improving your technical skills, and yet they persist. That’s because the real source of these mistakes is not technical—they actually stem from greed, fear, anger, or problems with confidence and discipline. If you are like most traders, you probably overlook or misunderstand mental and emotional obstacles. Or worse, you might think you know how to manage them, but you don’t, and end up losing control at the worst possible time. You’re leaving too much money on the table, which will either prevent you from being profitable or realizing your potential. While many trading psychology books offer sound advice, they don’t show you how to do the necessary work. That’s why you haven’t solved the problems hurting your performance. With straight talk and practical solutions, Jared Tendler brings a new voice to trading psychology. In The Mental Game of Trading, he busts myths about emotions, greed, and discipline, and shows you how to look past the obvious to identify the real reasons you’re struggling. This book is different from anything else on the market. You’ll get a step-by-step system for discovering the cause of your problems and eliminating them once and for all. And through real stories of traders from around the world who have successfully used Tendler’s system, you’ll learn how to tackle your problems, improve your day-to-day performance, and increase your profits. Whether you’re an independent or institutional trader, and regardless of whether you trade equities, forex, or cryptocurrencies, you can use this system to improve your decision-making and execution. Finally, you have a way to reach your potential as a trader. Now’s the time to make it happen.

Seize the advantage in every trade using your greatest asset—“psychological capital”! When it comes to investing, we're usually taught to “conquer” our emotions.

This is your “psychological capital”—and it's the key to making decisions calmly and rationally during the heat of trading. Market Mind Games explains the basics of neuroscience in language you understand, which is the first tool you need to manage the emotional ups and downs of the trading. It then provides you with a rock-solid trading system designed to take full advantage of your emotional assets.

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.
