I would like to start a thread to discuss books dealing with the psychological aspects of "peak" performance...

Some of the books that I have found particularly helpful in not only trading but in life itself include;
Trading In The Zone -- Mark Douglas
Reminiscence of a Stock Operator -- Edwin Leferve
The Intuitive Trader & The Tao of Trading -- Robert Koppel
Way of the Warrior Trader -- Richard McCall
Zen in the Art of Poker -- Richard Phillops
Flow; The psychology of Optimal Experience -- wont even attempt to spell name
Mastery -- George Leonard
Market Wizards 1&2 -- Jack Schwager

Some books on the more spiritual side are;
Zen in the Art of Archery -- Eugene Herrigel
Tao Te Ching -- Lao Tzu
The Inner Chapters -- Chuang Tzu
The Bhagavad Gita -- ?

This is just a brief list that will hopefully get the ball rolling a little...

PEACE and good trading,
Commisso

Doubtlessly, “Trading in Zone” is one of the best books on trading psychology. I also find “Mastering Trading Psychology” by Andrew Aziz and Mike Baehr helpful.

Currently, I am hooked to Candlestick Charting Techniques - Steve Nison.

I bought it for a few hundred dollars a few decades ago.

It was/is a famous book.

Unfortunately, I wouldn't classify it as a great book for traders.
It is probably great for the publisher/author.

I have a few suggestions:
-Trading in the Zone: Master the Market with Confidence, Discipline, and a Winning Attitude
-The Black Book of Forex Trading by Paul Langer
 
Brian Dolan's Currency Trading for Dummies is a book I would suggest.
Steve Nison's Japanese Candlestick Charting Techniques.
When I first started trading, their books were quite helpful.
