Key takeaways

  • This is the earlier framework, not The Daily Trading Coach.
  • The tools are for observing behavior, not calling markets.
  • The framing is coaching, not clinical treatment.
Wiley lists ISBN 978-0-471-42023-1 at 352 pages, January 2004. The subtitle is tools and techniques for minding the markets. Steenbarger writes about patterns in a trader's own behavior and short exercises for seeing them. The tone is coaching, drawn from his work with traders, not a therapy manual. ChartClub already lists The Daily Trading Coach as the later lesson book. This one is the framework underneath those lessons. A reader does not need both on day one. This edition is the place to start if the question is how he thinks about trading behavior at all. The tools do not pick trades. They only matter if the reader writes down what they actually did.
