Trading to Win
Trading to Win gives you the essential tools to overcome outmoded, self-limiting beliefs and mindsets that may be keeping you from a higher level of success. Ari Kiev, a leading psychiatrist for top trading firms, delves into the psychological side of trading and focuses on how mental discipline and emotional control are critical in high-stakes environments. He provides a breakthrough program for achieving new heights of trading success. He combines elements of behavioral psychology with practical advice for traders who want to improve their mindset and strategies for success in the markets. Trading to Win enables you to understand what is motivating you, whether it is consistent with your game plan, and whether you are in any way sabotaging yourself.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Trading to Win discusses subjects that technical finance and how-to trading books don’t often treat – especially inner dialogue and emotions, and the use of Eastern meditation practices to facilitate trading.
The book provides tools for understanding and managing emotions like fear, greed, and impatience—emotions that can often derail traders' decision-making.
Kiev offers advice to professional, institutional traders and to those trading to build or supplement personal finances.
He also includes his checklists with numerous anecdotes and profiles of traders.
