The following are resources (free and paid) that I use myself and have found to be of high value, or which have come highly recommended to me by people I trust. You won't find the usual internet 'hype'. Of course, just because I like them doesn't mean they're right for you. Please conduct a full due diligence investigation to be sure these products meet your needs, before considering their use.
And be sure to first read my Disclaimer page, as (1) I cannot guarantee the applicability of these sites to your needs (obviously), and (2) I may receive a referral commission for some of the products or courses listed on this site, if you decide to purchase their product or service. There's more info on the disclaimer page, but also feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Stocks, Forex, E-mini Futures, Options, Spread Betting or CFDs

- It track's up to (7) different performance categories, and allows for multiple Entry/Exits.
- It's feature packed and comes with great support from the creator (who is also a trader).
- It's a must-see, especially if your not currently tracking your trading performance.

| Psychology of Intelligence Analysis |
-
"Psychology of Intelligence Analysis" by Richards J Heuer, Jr., published by the CIA's Center for the Study of Intelligence, 1999.
-
Available as a pdf download from this webpage
-
Ok, so it's a CIA book written for Intelligence Analysts, not a trading book written for traders. However, the information available in this book is superb. Well written and easy to follow. This is an excellent source of information on how we think, and the cognitive biases which undermine our ability to process information and conduct market analysis.
-
VERY APPLICABLE TO TRADING. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. This is one of my favorite trading psychology books. Check it out. It's a free download.
