With you on the Market Wizards series, but I just got nothing out of the Mark Douglas books. Found them too vague and jargony.

The impression of Mark Douglas's books as being too general and filled with jargon may be due to personal preferences and expectations. Readers who are looking for specific trading strategies or technical support may not find these books very beneficial. However, for those who understand the importance of psychological preparation in trading, Mark Douglas's creativity can provide valuable insights into discipline, risk management, and maintaining the right mental state for successful trading.
 
To learn how to master emotions (if thats the only problem) the book doesnt necessarily have to be about trading.

Yeah, agree to disagree. I got more out of one chapter of Dayton's book than both of Douglas' books combined. You can dig deep into our psyches without being that obtuse. He's just not a very clear writer.
