Trading in the Zone

Trading in the Zone encompasses the most pertinent aspects of money management such as establishing and constantly resetting one's goals, understanding and incorporating a risk profile and cutting losses in the interest of capital preservation. This book is a must read for anyone looking to learn about the tenets of psychology as they relate to money management.

Must Read!

Sometimes the most useful exercise is to step out of the box of conventional thinking. Dr. Kiev turns the investment process on its head by asking questions that optimize the human decision process, risk taking and productivity rather then the traditional fundamentalist's question of value. The results have been phenomenal, helping post some of the greatest institutional investment track record's Wall Street has seen in the last 50 years. Personally, as a professional fund manager, Dr. Kiev has been an extraordinary help. This is a most read!!!

Trading In the Zone

Trading In the Zone, by Ari Kiev, should be an essential component of very trader's arsenal. In this book, Dr. Kiev discusses the role emotions and psychological factors play in the realm of trading. His success is demonstrated in his ability to portray actual case studies and transfer his work into a dialogue that makes it easy for the reader to identify with. Whether a beginner or an experienced trader, Trading in the Zone provides the necessary material to become a more focused and grounded trader.

Inspirational and Insightful

One of the most essential, yet least discussed, topics when it comes to trading is market psychology. While fundamentals and technicals are both critical in developing an understanding of a company and its inherent value, trading psychology is the processor of this information and the true measure of success and profitability. People who wish to excel in trading must have a firm grasp on their emotions to prevent them from falling victim to the same mistakes that dominate most traders. In his latest book, Dr. Kiev presents a much richer discussion of what it means to be trading "in the zone", including how to get there and how to stay there. He also expands upon some of the topics presented in his previous book, providing more detailed information as to the psychological forces at work behind the mask of fundamental and/or technical information. For an emotional trader like myself, it's reassuring to know that I am not in the investing minority and that, with work, I can overcome these self-inflicted barriers to success to achieve my personal and professional goals.

Great Framework for Building a Trader Psyche

Very good material for building the mental framework necessary to maximize trading results. The author's work with SAC provides a great lab to see trading psychology real time. Nice insight and very readable. Trading in the "Zone" is a place that is difficult for the beginner to understand, but it should be required reading before real money is at risk. It sure would have saved me money. From the introduction the material climbs in the traders head and speaks volumes about what it take to be a MASTER TRADER. This work, Ari Kiev's Trading to Win and Douglas' Trading in the Zone and The Disciplined Trader, along with Dr. Richard McCall's The Way of the Warrior-Trader should be the required reading for anyone seeking to trade the financial markets.
