Tom Hougaard on The Ideal Trading Mindset
- Tutorial:
- Why Normal Thinking Never Wins the Trading Game
- Tom Hougaard says, “People don’t fail because they don’t know enough about technical analysis. They fail because they don’t understand what the markets are doing to their minds.”
- Tom Hougaard provides a unique and refreshingly personal account of how an ordinary trader elevated his game to incredible heights by focusing as much on his mental approach as on his technical analysis.
- Author of this year's best selling trading book 'Best Loser Wins'.
