Wow, they're both great books. To me "Trading in the Zone" should be read and studied first and then "The Intuitive Trader". Reason is the following:
In the first half of "Trading in the Zone", Mark Douglas goes into great detail of the "What" and "Why" of the negative attitudes and belief systems of people and the effects these systems have on traders. In the second half of the book, he establishes a "How". As he says, we have a "glitch" in our software code and he offers a "how" to re-write that code. Once we firmly establish this belief system then we can access the "Zone", the present time of trading. This, IMO, is when the intuition can take place. True intuition can not exist, or I should say it gets mis-interpretted by the subliminal contradictory belief systems we have as traders.
All my previous post have been based upon my 13 years of very intense spiritual work and the successful experience I have had in applying this information to other aspects of my life. This completely changed the way in which I function emotional, mentally and physically. I have learned with great detail "how" to debug the code, deprogram the negative attitudes, and how to re-write the code, reprogram my functioning life. In regards to trading, I have no problem seeing the problem code, but I have been searching for sometime for assistance as to what "code" to install, to re-write. IMO, this book is it!
Once you establish a solid, clean mental state of mind basis, then you can access the "Zone" and allow your true intuition to come into being.
Therefore I recommend both books, for they compliment each other or better yet, should follow each other.
Happy Reading! |
