The Mental Keys to Hitting by H.A. Dorfman. I love baseball; it’s math and mindset. As a trader, I remember the market is the pitcher, and I am waiting for my pitch. Trading is waiting.
Quit by Annie Duke. Success in my trading (and life) is more about what we stop doing and how to identify what to stop doing. Walking away is a superpower.
Moneyball by Michael Lewis. More baseball. More math. It’s never about that ONE BIG TRADE. The best traders let the probabilities play out over time to win.
What I Learned Losing a Million Dollars by Jim Paul & Brendan Moynihan. My favorite trading book. Success can come in different ways. Losing is usually arrives in the same package for everyone. Once I learned to recognize my cues of poor trading decisions, it was easier to course correct.
