Ah sad news.

'The world has lost a true searcher – a humble soul in our arena – a light whose joy was to help others.'

Yeah that bout covers it in my book

RIP

This is sad news. He made a fine contribution to the traders' library.

The meaning of word 'legend' has evolved in recent years since it became appropriated by today's yoof. With that in mind, in the true sense of the word, Mark Douglas was a legend in the field of trading psychology.

Any new traders who haven't done so already - his books are (rightly IMO) regarded as classics - check them out: Trading in the Zone and The Disciplined Trader. Even if you conclude that either or both of them are utter rubbish, it's important to read them so that you know why you think that way. In and of itself - that will inform and enhance your trading. Love 'em (the majority) or hate em' (the minority) - it's a win : win situation - but only if you read them.

R.I.P.

Very sad news. I was introduced to his books some time back.

Methinks, after the last few weeks time to reread them:

For those of you unfamiliar with him and his contribution to Traders check him out here;

I was once lucky to come across a dvd set of his on eBay. It's a nice alternative to the books with the same content just a more enjoyable format. It's all good stuff but if I must be honest it didn't really hit home with me for a long time in the early days. I was that kid that listened but seemed to have a need to walk the long way around.

His DVD set is good.

His books aren't so good.

RIP Mark.

I've got his books on order. News like this really puts this trading lark in to perspective... Very sad

I don't know where the post is. It was the direct PDF link from Google.

If you're referring to the video in post #6, that was from Youtube, and it isn't copied here: it's hotwired, surely?

Similarly, if you're referring to the links in posts like Timsk's and/or mine, they're links, not pasting-in of copyright material. No copyrights were breached in either of our posts.

Apologies if I've still misunderstood you, but I really can't see any copyright issue here, at all?

the offending post upload of a trading in the zone pdf, which sat on a private board, has now been removed. thank you for bringing it to the mods attention

having said that, please do check if you can still view it, although gone I can still view the pdf from the link, I'm hoping it's just in my cache.

Very sad to hear that !!!

Mark Douglas played an enormous role in my development as a trader, and I will always be tremendously grateful for that.

Rest in peace.

You went much to early.

 

[MrLeverage]

It's still there and working.

yes you're right, although it cannot be accessed from the post where the pdf link once was, the direct link to it and the ability to download still persists, I can do no further in the deletion process and have asked for assistance for the pdf to be removed.
