That detachment is onlyachieved through confidence. That confidence is only arrived atthrough knowledge. That knowledge is arrived at through thought,study, hard work, and experience. In this book, I will try toimpart the knowledge and experience I have acquired over the lastthirty years." -- Richard Arms from the Introduction to TradingWithout Fear Richard Arms' revolutionary theories have changed the way investorsperceive the market. His expertise in the field of technicalanalysis has had significant impact, evidenced by the fact that hisEquivolume charting system is now part of the most popular stockand futures software, and his Arms Index--also known as theShort-Term Trading Index or TRIN--has become one of the mostimportant technical tools of Wall Street. In Trading Without Fear, Richard Arms shows investors how to makesound investment decisions "without succumbing to those two verypowerful emotions": fear and greed. Learning to control thoseemotions in ourselves--while recognizing them in others--empowersus to capitalize on that knowledge. The result is informedinvestment choices, tempered by caution, and fueled by confidenceand a strong desire to succeed. Arms' cogent examination of leading strategies will enable theaverage investor to master successfully what is widely regarded asone of the most reliable methods of long-term market forecasting:volume analysis. Volume analysis is rooted in a seminal Armstheory--that volume plays as significant a role in understandingthe markets as price movement. And volume is affected by theemotions at work in the marketplace. "The market is very complex.It is pushed one way or the other in varying degrees as a result ofindividual decisions of millions of participants. Some of thosepartici-pants are acting logically and others are actingemotionally...it is the volume which is giving us the real pictureof the emotions in the marketplace. Price tells us what ishappening, but volume tells us how it is happening."

Fear causes traders to self-sabotage so they can fulfil their self-fulfilling prophecy of trading failure. Fear causes traders to find reasons to avoid taking trades that would have been winners. Fear causes traders to exit trades before they have a chance to get the move under way and then have the misery of seeing a profitable trade run away from them. There are many more destructive aspects to fear in trading and what is vital for the trader in order for them to succeed is to have a way of thinking about trading that eliminates fear from the trading process. Overcome Your Fear in Trading is the companion book to the best-selling 'Control Your Inner Trader' and zeroes in on the single biggest problem traders face, their own fear. The book has been written by a therapist qualified in Hypnosis, EFT and NLP who is also a trader with over eight years trading experience.

The author has a happy knack of getting to the core of trading issues, both from the system perspective and the psychology side. But even better, LR provides workable solutions in this book based around focusing on the Process rather than the Results. This is already helping to clear my head trash and to laying the foundations for a better way of thinking about my trading. It is the clarity and her deep perception of the human condition in LR’s thinking and writing that makes her books really useful." Thank you so much, LR. Alastair Forrest UK

Download or read book Beginner Trader Psychology Mastery Guidebook written by Joseph Lira and published by . This book was released on with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a brand new self-directed investor and trader with zero knowledge of the business you are a danger to yourself and your account. You will need to develop mental toughness if you wish to compete in the live markets against the best traders in the world. The good news is you can do it; the even better news is that you can do it fairly quickly if you follow the suggestions in this book. There is really no easy way to do it honestly, there is a certain progression of steps all new traders must go through to be able to drive their own money train. Some of the first steps are to study and learn money management, gain a hold on your own trading psychology, and compose a rules based trading amongst others. There are no short cuts and what I just said to study and learn can take quite a while. It all depends on you and how much time and effort you are willing to put in to learn what needs to be known to be a successful market participant. You are in control of your investing and trading business and once you have your psychology and emotions under control you will achieve consistency and be able to make as much money in the live markets as you desire. There is also a lot of fear involved in trading and as a professional investor and trader you must be able to pull the trigger on a position and do it without hesitation or fear. When traders make a mistake in their analysis, which causes them to take a loss, they can develop a fear of being wrong all the time. This can psychologically prevent them from “pulling the trigger” when they need to. There are some suggestions in this book to help you overcome the fear of pulling the trigger in the live market.

Download or read book The Mental Game of Trading written by Jared Tendler and published by JT Press. This book was released on 2021-04-09 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Mind Without Fear written by Rajat Gupta and published by RosettaBooks. This book was released on 2019-03-24 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A propulsive narrative filled with boldfaced names from business and politics. At times, it is a dishy score settler.”—The New York Times For nine years, Rajat Gupta led McKinsey & Co.—the first foreign-born person to head the world’s most influential management consultancy. He was also the driving force behind major initiatives such as the Indian School of Business and the Public Health Foundation of India. A globally respected figure, he sat on the boards of distinguished philanthropic institutions such as the Gates Foundation and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, and corporations, including Goldman Sachs, American Airlines, and Procter & Gamble. In 2011, to the shock of the international business community, Gupta was arrested and charged with insider trading. Against the backdrop of public rage and recrimination that followed the financial crisis, he was found guilty and sentenced to two years in jail. Throughout his trial and imprisonment, Gupta has fought the charges and maintains his innocence to this day. In these pages, Gupta recalls his unlikely rise from orphan to immigrant to international icon as well as his dramatic fall from grace. He writes movingly about his childhood losses, reflects on the challenges he faced as a student and young executive in the United States, and offers a rare inside glimpse into the elite and secretive culture of McKinsey, “the Firm.” And for the first time, he tells his side of the story in the scandal that destroyed his career and reputation. Candid, compelling, and poignant, Gupta’s memoir is much more than a courtroom drama; it is an extraordinary tale of human resilience and personal growth.

Let’s face it, it’s a well-known fact that 97% of brand new self-directed investors and traders fail and lose all of their money, why does this happen? It happens because brand new self-directed traders enter into this business with a bunch of misguided grandiose ideas of making a million dollars from trading and while you can surely make millions of dollars from trading you would need to be using hundreds of millions of dollars of capital to do so, no joke. As a brand new self-directed trader you have no idea of the brutality and volatility that goes on in the live markets on a daily basis and that there are people in the live markets who will walk over dead bodies to get paid so make no mistake as a beginner and think you can go in the live market and beat them, you can’t.

Book excerpt: Learning the trading business from the ground up can be daunting so Trading without Indicators is definitely a good starting point for you. I encourage you to read it as many times as it takes for it to become clear to you as to what you do and do not need to learn to be successful in this business from the start and why you don’t need to use indicators to make trading decisions. There are no money back guarantees in the financial markets and you must know the right information from the start to have a chance of becoming consistently profitable and financially successful, indicators give you the wrong information and can cause a trader to make grave mistakes causing them to lose all their hard earned money.

This short book tells you how to invest and trade right from the beginning of your career without the use of any indicators and tells you why you don’t need them and how to read a price chart at a glance to see where the smart moey is working from so you can work there also. The professional advice I give you in this book will empower you to have confidence and zero fear of going in the live markets and accurately initiating a low risk high reward position with which you can have a high probability outcome from being a live market participant and do it while not using any indicators on your trading charts. Becoming a successful self-directed investor and trader is not nearly as difficult as one would think as long as they have the proper education and proper knowledge base right from day one, it takes a while but you can do it and you can do without using indicators!
