Lol, here's the simple answer to trading psychology...Just don't do it. Like anti-Nike and stuff.

dude enough with them stoopid songs.

Steenbarger is a great trading psychologist... his book, imo, is actually a lot better than Mark Douglas'

I am not sure if it is better or worse but it's a must-read as well. Perhaps in comparison, Douglas is more rambly where Steenbarger is more pointed and more densely packed with things you can take action on.

Armchair psychologist who doesn't trade. As useful as a screen door on a submarine.

I don't know Overnight, psychological issues are not really trading related, don't you think? You start digging and goes deep inside. Scary sh*t. Gotta be a good song for that - I don't mind

maybe or maybe not...he did mentioned one of the characteristics of an elite trader, most at one point learn from a mentor at 14:00 minute into the video. do you believe in this statement?

Hell no! I didn't have a mentor, figured it out just fine. Took years but did it without anyone's help. No books and a few youtube videos. I learnt Nadex first so i would say that was my mentor.

That’s y it took you years when it can take less time with a good mentor.

Even though I was mildly successful after about a year, I've always been a perfectionist. Thats why.

well, in the video...his argument is...do olympic swimmer just learn to swim by themselve? did tiger wood all of a sudden learn go out to the golf course with a club and started to swing and play golf by himself? did all these great athlete pick up a book and learn to do all of this just by reading a book w/o any mentor in their life?
