Editorial Reviews
Product Description
"The one, only, and by far the best book synthesizing psychology and investing. In addition to providing modern, scientific knowledge about psychology, this book provides a mirror into the mind and wide breadth of knowledge of one of the leading practitioners of brief and effectual cures. Will help to cure your trading and your life."
–Victor Niederhoffer, Chief Speculator, Manchester Investments
Author, The Education of a Speculator and Practical Speculation

"How refreshing! A book that rises above the old NLP model of the 80’s and provides insights on how our relationship with the market is indeed a very personal one. Not only has Steenbarger provided some fantastic tools for the trader to transform his mindset, but he has contributed unique trading ideas as well. Brilliant!"
–Linda Raschke, President, LBRGroup, Inc.

"‘Investigate, before you invest’ was for many years the slogan of the New York Stock Exchange. I always thought a better one would be, ‘Investigate YOURSELF, before you invest.’ The Psychology of Trading should help you increase your annual investment rate of return. Mandatory reading for anyone intending to earn a livelihood through trading. "
–Yale Hirsch, The Hirsch Organization Inc., Editor, The Stock Trader’s Almanac

"This highly readable, highly educational, and highly entertaining book will teach you as much about yourself as about trading. It’s Oliver Sacks meets Mr. Market–extraordinary tales of ordinary professionals and individuals with investment disorders, and how they successfully overcame them. It is a must-read both for private investors who have been shell-shocked in the bear market and want to learn how to start again, as well as for pros who seek an extra edge from extra inner knowledge. Steenbarger’s personal voyage into the mind of the market is destined to become a classic."
–Jon Markman, Managing Editor, CNBC on MSN Money
Author, Online Investing and Swing Trading

"Dr. Steenbarger’s fascinating, highly readable blend of practical insights from his dual careers as a brilliant psychologist and trader will benefit every investor; knowing oneself is as important as knowing the market."
–Laurel Kenner, CNBC.com Columnist, Author, Practical Speculation

Essential information for mastering the psychology of trading
Success in the markets, as in life, depends on a healthy and clear strategy for emotional risk management in addition to market knowledge. In The Psychology of Trading, Brett Steenbarger, a leading practitioner of brief therapy, presents readers with cutting-edge ideas in the psychology of trading by combining his research and experiences in psychology with his knowledge of trading. Steenbarger walks readers through the most common "issues" the market will force him/her to face and provides practical solutions to these trading problems. From breaking destructive patterns and managing uncertainty to developing the capacity for focus and discipline to manage crises, The Psychology of Trading offers readers a practical way to identify their patterns of success and failure, and provides them with the knowledge to exert greater control over these issues. The case studies, research, and ideas presented in this book will help transform any trader’s approach to risk and reward.

Brett Steenbarger, PhD, is Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at SUNY Upstate Medical University in Syracuse, NY. Dr. Steenbarger has published over fifty peer-reviewed journal articles and book chapters on topics related to brief therapy. An active trader who conducts his own statistical modeling research into markets, Dr. Steenbarger writes occasional feature columns for MSN’s MoneyCentral.com.
