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.

A lively, original, and challenging history of stock market speculation from the 17th century to present day.

Is your investment in that new Internet stock a sign of stock market savvy or an act of peculiarly American speculative folly? How has the psychology of investing changed--and not changed--over the last five hundred years?

In Devil Take the Hindmost, Edward Chancellor traces the origins of the speculative spirit back to ancient Rome and chronicles its revival in the modern world: from the tulip scandal of 1630s Holland, to stockjobbing in London's Exchange Alley, to the infamous South Sea Bubble of 1720, which prompted Sir Isaac Newton to comment, I can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies, but not the madness of people.

Here are brokers underwriting risks that included highway robbery and the assurance of female chastity; credit notes and lottery tickets circulating as money; wise and unwise investors from Alexander Pope and Benjamin Disraeli to Ivan Boesky and Hillary Rodham Clinton.

From the Gilded Age to the Roaring Twenties, from the nineteenth century railway mania to the crash of 1929, from junk bonds and the Japanese bubble economy to the day-traders of the Information Era, Devil Take the Hindmost tells a fascinating story of human dreams and folly through the ages.

In their quest for trading commodities profitably, beginning traders spend a substantial amount of time studying market theory, various types of market analysis, and paper-trading in the futures and options markets. Yet, almost all of them fail to take the necessary steps to ensure their trading environment is conducive for the profits they seek. A Trader's First Book on Commodities aims to fill the void in trading literature that overlooks the importance in making the right decisions before ever placing a commodity trade such as fully understanding market mechanics and logistics, choosing a proper trading platform, understanding order types, being aware of market data fees and policies, how to quote and calculate profit or loss in each of the commodity markets, preparing for margin calls, and the only magic in trading-humility.



A Trader's First Book on Commodities is guaranteed to shorten the learning curve for beginning traders while offering seasoned traders a new perspective on familiar topics. There is more to trading than computer-generated oscillators and trendlines; choosing the wrong trading platform, brokerage, or order type can do more harm to a trading account than choosing the wrong technical indicator.

Speculation is no simple business..Indeed, speculation requires broader knowledge, closer attention, sounder judgment than the average business. Published in 1930, on the heels of America's greatest depression, Philip L. Carret's classic is a perceptive and complete examination of speculation and its vital role in our economy. Carret, a Wall Street legend and founder of one of the first mutual funds, was one of the greatest minds tackling the intricacies of business, finance, and speculation. With clarity and precision, he presents the history of the profession, the relationship between speculation and business, and the fundamentals-bonds, securities, derivatives, and stocks, as well as the more complex areas of analysis, margins, and arbitrage. Not one detail is overlooked. In the final chapter, Carret distills the essence of his wisdom into 10 Commandments for Speculators. There is brilliance in their simplicity-in fact, it is clear why Warren Buffett once called Carret one of the greatest investors of all time. Even now it is hard to imagine success without a commitment to these rules.

The fact that you are here now, it means that you are looking for a better way to trade the market. Whether you are already trading the market or are planning to do so, it's clear that you are searching for a good book that can help you achieve success easily and make trading better. It's true isn't it? And there's nothing to hide because I have been in your shoes when I started and I totally understand it. While the market is random, you know that repeatable patterns exist in the market, don't you? And because human behaviours - like fear and greed - exist, then you should also believe that price and price patterns represents the very same behaviours in the financial market. Sooner or later, you will also agree that understanding price patterns in the market place will be a great option to help you improve your trading. With that, I would like to invite you to explore the idea of trading price action pullbacks at the start or as you continue your trading journey. Sometimes the best things are just right in front of you. Believe it or not, you see price pullbacks almost every time you open your price chart because it is inevitable that price is cycling and pulling back and forth all the time. However, many traders do not see it. That just goes to show that humans (including traders) can be so engrossed in their own thing that they often fail to see the obvious that is right in front of them. While this book is primarily about pullbacks, this is also my way of breaking down information from what seems to be bulky blocks into little absorbable chunks and building them back into useful resources. By breaking the process down, you are able to spot the various clues in the market easily. The more clues you find, the more likely that you have a successful trade. At the same time, never forget the bigger picture when trading. Since the big guns are the one with the deepest pocket, it makes sense to keep track of who those market leaders are. By keeping track, I don't mean searching for the traders' information. Instead, I am referring to understanding what and how price is reacting to certain challenges in the market. In fact, the more you understand price action, the easier you can spot the leader. Trading price action pullbacks can be very profitable if done correctly. Hence, I hope to show you a variety of pullback patterns and hopefully you can use that as a starting point to fine tune your own trading. Learning to trade is a journey. However, once you built a solid foundation, the rest of the journey should be easier. Also, it is profitable trading pullback if it is congruent with your trading beliefs. Hence, I hope to explain how, why and when trading pullbacks works. More importantly, you should also understand how, why and when they do not work. Ps.

2012 Reprint of 1930 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Philip L. Carret (1896 - 1998) was a famed investor and founder of The Pioneer Fund (Fidelity Mutual Trust), one of the first Mutual Funds in the United States. A former Barron's reporter and WWI aviator, Carret launched the Mutual Trust in 1928 after managing money for his friends and family. The initial effort evolved into Pioneer Investments. He ran the fund for 55 years, during which an investment of $10,000 became $8 million. Warren Buffett said of him that he had the best long term investment record of anyone I know He is most famous for the long successful track record he achieved investing in Common Stocks and for being one of Warren Buffett's role models. These are a series of articles written for Barron's and published in book form in 1930.

Most of Gann's books and courses were written in a veiled language as said by the trading community. What this means is he buried his techniques in his courses. It's there, but the reader has to read and reread his material several times to get anything of trading value out of it. Gann's material is extremely complicated and the trader must have a strong background in mathematics to full benefit from it. Some experts think that he did not put in the books and courses what he really traded with, even though the price of the courses was an unbelievable $3500 at the time he sold them. Converted into today's prices, it would be equivalent to $50,000. He kept the good trading secrets for himself or for those few who could afford to pay him the asking price of $100,000. One of the trading methods that Gann kept to himself was the use of Pythagorean Square. He also kept secret the hexagon and the circle charts. He went to the land of the Pyramids to study the Pythagorean Square to find its secrets. It's believe that he found someone over there who explained how it worked and how it could be used in the markets. We know that Gann used the Pythagorean Square because he was found carrying it with him into the trading pit all the time. This square was hidden in the palm of his hand. How did he use this square? Why did he not discuss the use of this square in his courses? There is only one page covering the Square of Nine in all of his books and courses. Was this square his most valuable tool? These and all the other squares Gann used will be discussed in detail in this book with many illustrations and examples to prove how they work. It almost seems that Gann kept the secret of how to use these charts to himself for two reasons: these charts tell the real mysteries behind the market; and if other traders knew how to use these master charts, it might have hurt his trading. Also included in this book are many of the archived articles previously written in the Gann and Elliott Wave and Traders World magazine on the Square of Nine. These articles are included so you can get a different viewpoint from experts in the field. ...It is just like a professional athlete, he trains over and over again and when he is out on the field he doesn't have to think when he plays, it becomes automatic. You too, must train over and over again using these methods with historical data before you are ready to go out on the field to play or trade.
