Preface
Since 1990, I have been helping Wall Street traders master psychological
obstacles to trading success and develop strategies for
winning that would sustain them in the face of the uncertainty and
unpredictability of the markets. My first book on this subject, Trading
to Win: The Psychology of Mastering the Markets (Wiley, 1998), presented
a step-by-step goal-oriented program for building the mental and
emotional stamina not only to win but to win on an unprecedented
level. A second book, Trading in the Zone: Maximizing Performance with
Focus and Discipline (Wiley, 2001), examined specific techniques for
achieving and sustaining peak performance levels by entering into the
zone—a focused state of concentration and goal-directedness.
The present book provides further explorations into the psychology
of trading to win, focusing in particular on the appetite for risk taking,
on ways of modulating and managing risk, and dealing with some of the
pathological patterns of risk taking that often incapacitate traders. What
is it that allows some traders to assume risk with considerable impunity
and translate their analyses into action, whereas others with equally
good understanding of the companies they are analyzing and the stocks
they are trading are inhibited from trading as effectively as they can?
A willingness to take risks, set goals, persevere, and not be influenced
by the opinions of others is critical for success. What distinguishes
the best traders is their willingness to acknowledge their
feelings, to ask for help, and to keep monitoring and adjusting their
performance in light of specific trading objectives. Traders who
“trade not to lose” don’t take enough risk or trade recklessly and emotionally when in drawdown and jeopardize their capital. Trading
success requires you to manage your risk objectively to be able to cut
losing trades and stay longer in winners. To do all of these things well
requires an appetite for risk and risk management and the ability to
handle such distinct tendencies as perfectionism, decision paralysis,
hoarding, and impulsiveness.
I explore these and other psychological obstacles to trading success
in this book. I also examine a variety of psychological techniques
or principles that may help you to trade independently of your emotional
responses to the stress of trading. To convey a sense of the kind
of communication that transpires in my coaching sessions, I have included
a few dialogues with traders. Traders who have reviewed
them have found them useful in exploring some of their own trades.
My hope is that the examples and recommended solutions I describe
will give you a glimpse into the trading world from my perspective
and enhance your ability to take risk and master market uncertainty.
You will notice that I have deliberately avoided naming specific
companies traded because I have been more interested in illuminating
useful trading strategies than in specifics about particular companies.
Finally, as in my previous books, I have disguised the identities
of traders because my purpose is more to draw out generic principles
that might be applicable to other traders than to talk about their own
unique personal experiences.
It is my hope that, as with my previous two books, you will
profit from your reading and periodic perusal of the concepts in this
book, and that it will provide you with a new and stimulating perspective
that will enhance your trading success.
