A Taoist Trader applies principles of ancient philosophy to modern markets, helping a reader to navigate their stormy waters. Don't let the word "philosophy" fool you; this is very practical book, addressing the most pressing issues that every trader and investor encounters.
The book addresses three major aspects of trading:
Understanding the inner workings of the market Understanding thought process and guiding emotions of other traders Understanding and controlling your mindset and actions
It shows a reader what the market is, what forces move it and how they act; what their motives and intentions are and how to read them; how they are trying to influence us and how to stay safe and profit from the action. It teaches how to condition your mind to act in a disciplined cold-blooded fashion. Taoist principles create the canvas that we use to combine these concepts and beliefs in a clear well-structured trading approach that governs your actions and gives you inner strength to follow the right course.
