Review # 1 was written on 2009-06-21 00:00:00 John Doe There are countless books on either history of the investment market, or trading psychology, or technical analysis. This book is a rare breed that incorporates several dimensions into one. Chart reading, with elaboration of four basic market rules 1. market is ahead 2. market is irrational 3. environment is chaotic 4. charts are self fulfilling) interrelated with different schools of psychological theories (Behaviorist, Gestalt, Cognitive, Psychoanalysis…) One great strength of it is that one does not need to know much about psychology to understand what the author tries to tell, because tables of examples are abundant to let you know when you have made specific mistakes. He does not teach you how to correct them, but it does lead the way of self improvement and really help to enlighten your trading style. It should be in any serious trader's bookshelf for fast recollection of some important trading principles, a regular dosage for cleansing mental dirt accumulated throughout his/her harsh trading life. Note that this book was published in two editions. The first edition successfully views the mechanics of trading through the emotional filters which affect our buy-sell decisions. The second edition is a complete rewrite which morphs the book into a nebulous psychology text that is only occasionally related to the trading process (or so I have been told to avoid it…)
