(230 pages, $44.95 paperback, 2012, ISBN 978-0-615-41580-2) by J. Rande Howell, MEd, LPC, self-published.
Most traders lose long before they make a trade with their thinking already clouded by a fear of loss, a fear of not being able to make up for their losses, or an urgency to make up for prior losses. This state of mind is a setup for losing. It does not have to be this way. In this book, author J. Rande Howell reorganizes your mind for trading, with a transformed “you” coordinating your platform, your methodology, and the perceptual map called your brain from a calm impartial authority — the trader’s state of mind.
