John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2023. — 242 p. — ISBN: 978-1119868262.An incisive and actionable guide to trading success.In The Trading Mindwheel: Eight Essential Skills for Trading Mastery, Michael Lamothe delivers a hands-on and practical roadmap to personal investing success. In the book, you'll explore the belief systems, mindsets, and market psychology you need to master to maximize your investment returns. You'll also learn to analyze trades, markets, and risk as you manage your portfolio and continuously improve and validate your skills.To stay on track, perform at our best, and achieve the results we're after, I find it best to:
Develop clear goals;
Develop plans to meet those goals; and.
Focus doggedly on the consistent execution of those plans toward those goals.We'll discuss each of these — goal setting, plan development, and execution — in detail in later chapters. For now, think of goals as you would think of putting an address into a GPS. The more specific we are, the easier it will be for us to get from where we are to where we want to go. With clear goals, even when life puts up roadblocks and we get knocked off track, we can still find our way over, around, or through to get back on track.You may find some of the exercises in this book to be easy, some of them hard, some of them quick, and some may take a while. All of that is okay. All of that is part of the journey. What I promise you is that it will all be worth it, and your efforts will be well rewarded in ways you may never have imagined.In this book, we're going to leave no stone unturned. I'm going to share with you everything that has led to my success and the success of the thousands of traders I've coached and mentored through the years. I'm going to share with you the ongoing efforts, strategies, and tactics we use for continuous improvement.Maintaining success that lasts takes a certain level of tenacity and perseverance. I believe that we're all capable of this. That we all have it within us. And even if you're reading this and you're at a point where you're questioning if that fire within you has gone out, I'm here to let you know that it can always be rekindled, relit, stoked — and it can grow!You'll also find:Ways to use journaling as a roadmap to continuous personal improvement Strategies for using post analysis to validate your skills and trades Methods for managing individual trades and portfolios in a way that limits relevant risks A can't-miss resource for anyone interested in trading, investing, finance, and personal wealth, The Trading Mindwheel: Eight Essential Skills for Trading Mastery belongs on the bookshelves of people seeking to build wealth.Foreword – By Mark Minervini.THE AXLE: MINDSET: Beliefs, Belief Systems, Emotions, and Habits.
