"Controlling Yourself"
Glen,
The best technique I've found in my 5 years of trading in terms of controlling my emotions is to:-
- open an amazon.com account (if you don't have one!); and
- use it to buy "Trading In The Zone" by Mark Douglas.
It's one of the best books I've ever read, period & is an absolute must in learning to control your emotions.
Pages 97-100 (I think) are where the real meat in it lies; however, the whole book from start to finish is a trading epiphany.
It's also highly recommended on ForexFactory (in the "Beginners' Section"
The guy is quite simply, a trading physcology guru.
Cheers Lad,

Vince/TD,
Once again some fantastic advice. I'm definitely taking it on board. However my inexperience does show through. One of the most difficult things i am having to overcome is myself. When presented with a possible opportunity the instinct is to go for it but i need to analyse it and be more patient.
A few weeks back I added another couple of columns into TD's spreadsheet with a final "Am i being patient enough?" the final box i need to tick before making the trade.
Now i just need to follow the great advice out there.
Cheers,
Glen
