1. The Disciplined Trader
One of the first books to address the psychological nature of how successful traders think ~ The Disciplined Trader is now an industry classic. In this ground-breaking work published in 1990 ~ Douglas examines the causes as to why most traders cannot raise and keep their equity on a consistent basis ~ and brings the reader to practical and unique conclusions as to how to go about changing any limiting mindset. The trader is taken through a step-by-step process to breakthrough those queries ~ and begin to understand that their very thoughts may be limiting their ability to accumulate and succeed at trading.
2. Trading In The Zone
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.
About the author

Webb's first book "The Disciplined Traderâ„¢" published in 1990 is an industry classic, and along with "Trading in the Zoneâ„¢" published in 2000, their books are the FIRST books to introduce the investment industry to the concept of trading psychology years before anyone heard of that concept, much less providing coaching in this now popular way of approaching trading. They are Wall Street moguls and considered the "Gurus" of trading psychology.
