If you’re looking for a simple program to develop the mental skills necessary to be a successful trader, then check out 10 Minute Toughness – The Mental Training Program for Winning Before the Game Begins. Jason Selk works with many of the worlds top athletes to develop the mental toughness needed for sports success and his program translates perfectly to trading. I’ve been working with the book for a few months now -its easy to read, easy to implement and the program is excellent! As the book says “No psychobabble, no self-help cliches, no touchy feely theories. 10 Minute Toughness is the simple and effective mental-training program to help you get focused, stay on target and find a competitive edge.” The program contains short impactful exercises to help you

  • calm your heart-rate and maintain a relaxed state of mind
  • stay focused on the aspects of your trading that will most help you succeed
  • build confidence
  • perform mental run-throughs that prepare you for the market day

What I particularly find helpful is the emphasis on process goals.  Many of us focus on goal setting in terms of performance goals like making so many points a week. A process goal shifts the focus to concentrate on the specific aspects of trading that will help you achieve the performance you are looking for. It helps you keep your attention each day on the one or two things that will improved your trading. The book is very consistent with what Brett Steenbarger teaches and yet somehow I found it more accessible and easy to implement.  The detailed examples of top athletes, baseball, basketball and football players makes the book fun to read and easy to get. This book will make a great addition to every traders library

Michael Jardine’s latest book focuses on simple ways to profit from predictable moves in today’s financial markets…

In today’s financial climate, many traders are finding the markets difficult to navigate. With the volatile swings seen over the past weeks and months, it is increasingly difficult to predict where the market is headed and even harder to make a profit day after day. Emotion and inexperience trading in today’s market conditions can lead some to overtrade, trying to gain back the losses suffered throughout this current economic downturn.

In the latest trading title from niche finance publisher Marketplace Books, Just a Trade a Day: Simple Ways to Profit from Predictable Market Moves, traders are introduced to Michael Jardine’s newly developed methods of making market predictions–and profiting—making just a single trade each day.

The author of New Frontiers in Fibonacci Trading, Jardine has used his extensive background in Fibonacci theory to build an easy-to-use trading system. In clear-cut terms, he teaches traders how apply the Market Profile™ and Points of Control to determine how today’s market environment will best produce with their own particular trading style. By giving readers real-life examples from his very own life experiences building this system, Jardine proves the success of this system.

Michael Jardine has been trading, teaching about trading, and blogging about trading on his web site, Enthios.com, for over twelve years. His first trading book, New Frontiers in Fibonacci Trading, was published in 2003. Now, seven years later, Jardine has come back with a combination of his own Jardine Range and what he has dubbed the “Universal Chart,” to find that one trade a day is what all traders are looking for. Jardine has held many positions at a number of marketing-oriented companies including, Chanel, Walt Disney, and Patagonia. He has also created a highly informative video presentation to optimize your trading profits and gain more trading confidence.
