Dr. Van K. Tharp-The Psychology of Trading
Dr. Van K. Tharp是專門研究交易心理的學(xué)者和咨詢專家。他將影響交易的因素分為三大類，七小類；并研究這些因素與成功的關(guān)系：
psychological factor
a well-rounded personal life, a positive attitude, the motivation to make money, lack of conflict, and responsibility for results.
the decision-making area
a solid knowledge of technical factors in the market, an aptitude for making sound decisions without common biases, and the ability to think independently.
management-discipline factors
risk control， the ability to be patient, and intuition
有意思的是以下兩個結(jié)論：
技術(shù)分析好壞與成功與否沒有直接關(guān)系（我想這里指的不是技術(shù)分析用得不好可以成功，而是大部分人技術(shù)分析做得很好卻沒有成功）
天分和直覺與成功與否也沒有直接關(guān)系

他的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)成功的交易員都有至少以下五個共同的信念：
top traders believe:
• Money is NOT important.
• It is OK to lose in the markets.
• Trading is a game.
• Mental rehearsal is important for success.
• They've won the game before they start.
在Dr. Van K. Tharp的訪談中，還有許多對于成功因素，失敗因素的分析，都值得仔細(xì)研讀。

Final word

最后，作者Jack D. Schwager總結(jié)了所有受訪者成功的共性：
1. All those interviewed had a driving desire to become successful traders—in many cases, overcoming significant obstacles to reach their goal.
2. All reflected confidence that they could continue to win over the long run. Almost invariably, they considered their own trading as the best and safest investment for their money.
3. Each trader had found a methodology that worked for him and remained true to that approach. It is significant that discipline was the word most frequently mentioned.
4. The top traders take their trading very seriously; most devote a substantial amount of their waking hours to market analysis and trading strategy.
5. Rigid risk control is one of the key elements in the trading strategy of virtually all those interviewed.
6. In a variety of ways, many of the traders stressed the importance of having the patience to wait for the right trading opportunity to present itself.
7. The importance of acting independent of the crowd was a frequently emphasized point.
8. All the top traders understand that losing is part of the game.
9. They all love what they are doing.

看這本書之前，從他處聽來的意見是：要想成功，最好看看market wizards系列。
看完這本書之后，感受更強(qiáng)烈些：如果連market wizards都沒看過，完全就不可能成功！
