While the author interviews many successful traders from various backgrounds, the most repeated comment was that you get the intuitive response from years of experience. This would appear as commonsense to most.

Like riding a bicycle, you at first concentrate on balance. Then after you achieve a comfort level it becomes automatic or intuitive. With so many books on the market, writing a book on the premise that more experience brings on the ability to move by inner feelings is something one needn't pay for.

This is a very under-rated book.Probably the best book on trading psychology available.For professional and serious traders much more focused than anything else out there including the Disciplined trader which I enjoyed but didn't feel was as effective as The Intuitive Trader.

Koppel's book, "The Intuitive Trader" provides excellent insights into the ways to combine left-brain (logical) and right brain (intuitive) skills to gain the competitive advantage. Koppel interviews established masters and shows how each of them rely on both the left and right sides of the brain. An excellent book for anyone in the world of professional investing.

A friend of mine turned me on to this very insightful book.I Have been trading in the bond pit at the CBOT for over 15 years and found the Intuitive Trader to be right on the mark.It has helped me tremendously to get in a peak performance state of mind.

If you trade for a living or are serious about understanding the interplay of subjective trading experience and objective market behavior,there is no better book on the subject.Thanks Amazon.com for recmmending this title.

Mark Douglas's "The Disciplined Trader" is, quite frankly, inexhaustible in explaining the many facets of the psychology of trading, and much better than Koppel's many attempts at the subject.

It is facinating to realize the role that intuition plays in the art and science of trading. Koppel does a brilliant job in getting across the mind set and attitudes of the very best. A must read.

This is one of the most subtle and complete books about trading I have read.There is also a facinating series of interviews which I strongly recommend.There are few books on trading that are so engaging.

This book consists largely of interviews with quacks and floor traders who are not really taking big directional bets. It has limited insights and pales in comparison to Market Wizards, Soros on Soros, or even some history of money management like Fortune's Formula. Not worth the time at all.
