Every trader is an entrepreneur. And just as a new business must
capitalize upon the strengths of its founders, a career in the markets
crucially hinges upon the assets--personal and monetary--of the trader.
As an active trader and a coach of traders in hedge funds, proprietary
trading groups, and investment bank settings, author Brett Steenbarger
has helped others see the personal assets they have possessed all along:
those that can pay a lifetime of dividends.
In The Daily Trading Coach, Steenbarger provides the tools to help you
prioritize both your trading goals and your life--and become your own
trading psychologist.
There are 101 lessons in The Daily Trading Coach, each averaging
several minutes in length. Each lesson follows the same general format:
identifying an everyday challenge that traders face, an approach to
meeting that challenge, and a specific suggestion for implementing that
approach. The lessons cover a range of topics relevant to trading
psychology and trading performance, including detailed instruction for
utilizing psychodynamic, cognitive, and behavioral brief therapy methods
to change problematic behavior patterns and instill new, positive ones.
In addition, the book includes insightful self-coaching perspectives
from 18 successful trading professionals who share their work online.
While the aim of the book is to help you become your own trading coach,
its broader purpose is to help you coach yourself through life. The
challenges and uncertainties you face in trading--the pursuit of rewards
in the face of risks--are just as present in careers and relationships
as in markets. The Daily Trading Coach provides a road map, and a
practical set of insights and tools, for discovering and implementing
the best within you.
