Trading in the Zone: Master the Market with Confidence, Discipline and a Winning Attitude: Mark Douglas: 9780735201446: Amazon.com: Books

Douglas uncovers the underlying reasons for lack of consistency and helps traders overcome the ingrained mental habits that cost them money. He takes on the myths of the market and exposes them one by one teaching traders to look beyond random outcomes, to understand the true realities of risk, and to be comfortable with the "probabilities" of market movement that governs all market speculation.

Biography
Mark Douglas' book, The Disciplined Trader™, was published in 1990 and is considered an industry classic. Along with Trading in the Zone™, published in 2000, his books are considered some of the first books to introduce the investment industry to the concept of trading psychology.

Mark began coaching traders in 1982, and has continued to develop seminar and training programs on trading psychology for the investment industry, as well as individual traders. He has been a frequent speaker at seminars across the world, as well as in the U.S., teaching traders how to become consistently successful.

In May of 2010, select quotes from his work on trading psychology were included in the book, Inner Wisdom Trading Prosperity Affirmations, (recently expanded) book by author and Performance Coach, Paula T. Webb. These quotes from Mark enhance the original trading affirmations by author Webb, and lead the trader to a higher understanding of what it means to think prosperously ~ one day at a time.

Mark is currently working on his third book which will be available in late 2013, and can be reached through his website www.MarkDouglas.com.
