So, What Are My Favorite Trading Psychology Books?

In the last newsletter, I provided a link to download a copy of "Psychology of Intelligence Analysis" by Richards J Heuer, Jr, and described it as a new addition to my list of favorite trading psychology books (excusing the fact that it's not actually written for traders!)

Well, I had someone ask what were my favorite trading psychology books.

So, here's my top 5, in no particular order since they actually deal with very different aspects of the field of trading psychology:

• Richard McCall, The Way of the Warrior-Trader
   

• Brett Steenbarger, Enhancing Trader Performance
   

• Brett Steenbarger, The Psychology of Trading
   

• Mark Douglas, Trading in the Zone
   

• Richards J Heuer, Jr, Psychology of Intelligence Analysis

I won't provide product reviews here - that's perhaps a subject for another time. The links to the first four books at amazon provide significant information, including the product description, editorial reviews and customer reviews. The fifth is a free download, so you may as well get that one & check it out yourself.

Be aware though that while I believe the three by Steenbarger and Douglas should appeal to all traders, the book by Richard McCall will be one that traders either love or hate. If you're into Eastern philosophy and spirituality, you'll probably get incredible value out of this book. Otherwise, give it a miss - you just won't get it.

Cheers,

Lance.
