“Legit one of the best books I’ve read. I picked up trading later in life and had some bad habits I was blind to..”
“This book wasnt exactly what I thought it would be. It spent alot of time taking apart the mentality of the average trader and contrasting it with what a winning trader should be thinking.”
“Un libro che appare tra le letture consigliate da J Ross ; a mio vedere un supporto importante rivolto a tutti coloro che intendono cominciare ad occuparsi di trading”
Why Paula T. Webb?
Dr. Paula has spent her entire career in this industry, understanding what makes traders tick. While working at the MidAmerica Commodity Exchange in the mid-1980s, managing the floor operations, she met quite a few floor traders, some of whom were only trading mini-contracts, and some who offset those mini-contracts with full-size contracts at the CBOT, CME, and other full-size contract exchanges. Over the course of several years, she was taught by some of the best—and worst—about their trading systems and their daily approach to trading. All of this first-hand knowledge came into good use when she began trading herself shortly after.
She watched, listened, learned, and turned that information into an understanding that if any trader wants to succeed, they must first believe they can, no matter what is going on around them, personally, professionally, or globally. When she met Mark Douglas in 1984, they realized their two perspectives—hers as a floor trader and his as a retail broker/trader—were necessary to combine their expertise into the materials they created together, which is now known as Trading Psychology.

When there is complacency, there is no reason to grow or change or improve. At that juncture, you lose the ability to achieve because you are no longer thinking for yourself, you are merely a follower of someone else’s ideas, and you will always lose.
