High Performance Trading

There is more to trading than blindly following a set of rules. ‘High Performance Trading’ is a very important book as it recognises the similarities between top athletes and top traders and what to do to achieve winning trading strategies, especially from a mental perspective. I would wholly recommend this book in the library of any trader, both novice as well as advanced. – Lex Van Dam, Hedge Fund Manager
