This is an outstanding book by an author who has been there and done it all. The psychological aspects of trading are extremely complex, and really can not and have not been adequately covered by the psychological trade writers who are not traders. Ms. Brown has the most complete summary of the positive and negative sides of trading that I have ever seen, and her writing is carefully constructed with the understanding of the reader in mind. She helped bring me back from the depths of that dreaded trader disease, burnout. Her work in this book becomes even more impressive when you read her latest book, Technical Analysis for the Trading Professional, one of the most innovative efforts that I have seen by any author. Ms. Brown is very clearly not a one book flameout!!

Aerodynamic Trading

Aerodynamic Trading is about the psychology of trading written from the perspective of high-level sports competition.

I believe it may be the first such book written by someone who excelled in both fields and it may still be the only such one devoted exclusively to this subject.

It is a great read, provides honest insight and was Connie's first book. We can only hope that she changes her mind and decides to reprint it, even if in a self-published format (presuming New Classics would release her).

I was fortunate to obtain my own copy.

Most complete book on trader psychology that I have come across. Pring also has a good one, but in my opinion, this is on another level.

Ms. Brown really knows what is going on here. If you stray away from the moment and allow your mind to be overcome by the distractions of the world, you are going to lose. This applies to not only trading, but to life as well. It's all about your mind. To quote the great Ed Seykota, "Everybody gets what they want."

So how do you get what you want? Well, although I am still trying to figure that out, but Ms. Brown gives some great insight into how you can begin to find out, while becoming even more true to yourself in the process. Excellent book.

Buy it. Add it to your library. It is an excellent book on the psychology of trading, which the experts say is really what makes or breaks a trader in the end, not being a technical indicator expert, but being psychologically prepared.
