Book Description

July 23, 2007
At some point, every trader every trader encounters a mental block, makes a trade he or she regrets, or faces an emotional challenge related to an investment. All the technical expertise in the world won't help you succeed if you don't have the right mindset. This collection of the top psychology-related articles from SFO, The Official Journal for Personal Investing, will help you assess what kind of trading is right for you and how to manage your personal mind games. This book explores managing mind games and controlling emotions, as well as behavioral economics and how the act of trading affects the internal workings of the brain. Learning about the hard science behind economic decision making and how brain function contributes to trading decisions can help give you the edge you re seeking.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book!, September 17, 2007
By 
This review is from: SFO Personal Investor Series: Psychology of Trading (Hardcover)
This is a great book because of the many different/diverse perspectives it gives due to contributions from many/multiple authors! Most of the authors are known and well established and respected in their field and have created great articles that are very, very helpful to all types of traders. While this won't be the only book you'll need on the subject, this is a great starter and will help you hone in on a particular author or technique you like allowing you to do further research when you're ready! Great read too!
