‘How refreshing! A book that rises above the old NLP model of the
80’s and provides insights on how our relationship with the market
is indeed a very personal one. Not only has Steenbarger provided
some fantastic tools for the trader to transform his mindset, but
he has contributed unique trading ideas as well. Brilliant!’

”Investigate, before you invest’ was for many years the slogan of
the New York Stock Exchange. I always thought a better one would
be, ‘Investigate YOURSELF, before you invest.’ The Psychology of
Trading should help you increase your annual investment rate of
return. Mandatory reading for anyone intending to earn a livelihood
through trading. ‘
-Yale Hirsch, The Hirsch Organization Inc., Editor, The Stock
Trader’s Almanac
‘This highly readable, highly educational, and highly entertaining
book will teach you as much about yourself as about trading. It’s
Oliver Sacks meets Mr. Market-extraordinary tales of ordinary
professionals and individuals with investment disorders, and how
they successfully overcame them. It is a must-read both for private
investors who have been shell-shocked in the bear market and want
to learn how to start again, as well as for pros who seek an extra
edge from extra inner knowledge. Steenbarger’s personal voyage into
the mind of the market is destined to become a classic.’

insights from his dual careers as a brilliant psychologist and
trader will benefit every investor; knowing oneself is as important
as knowing the market.’
