    Description of The Mind of a Trader

    Winning traders have a successful sixth sense which cannot be learned from any academic course. The game that they have learned has taken many years of experience; making many trades and deploying accumulated insights into the behaviour of the market - they have refined a successful trading mind.

    The Mind of a Trader explores the trading philosophies, behaviour and tactics of the world's top traders, identifying successful strategies and winning ways in the markets. Learn from the trades of Jon Najarian, Pat Arbor, David Kyte and many more trading legends.
