80% psychology and 20% fundamental/technical
Trading is 80% psychology and 20% fundamental/technical analysis. Douglas has done a fantastic job of pointing the way through that 80% and this book is worth reading multiple times to grasp all that it has to offer about the mental side of trading.

Good insight
"The number one reason that I like The Disciplined Trader is that Mark Douglas has no formal training in psychology. Rather, Douglas was trained in the only classroom that matters-the battlefield of actual trading. Even though this book was published in 1990 and there have been a plethora of trading Read more...
Mark Douglas is a trader and as such this book captures his thoughts on his trading performance and shows the lessons he learned from his failures and successes. A great book and definitely in my top 10 when it comes to the psychology of trading.
