Trading from Your Gut: How to Use Right Brain Instinct and Left Brain Smarts to Become a Master Trader

This is the eBook version of the printed book. If the print book includes a CD-ROM, this content is not included within the eBook version.

In Trading from Your Gut, original Turtle Trader and bestselling author Curtis Faith shows active traders how to profit from combining right brain skills (i.e., instinct) with left brain analysis. Drawing from his expertise in trading psychology and the Turtle trading method, Faith gives readers the tools to become a master trader.  Master traders are able to harness their intuition in order to react quickly to market changes, are aware of behavioral biases, and are skilled analysts.  Simply put, they combine the best of their right and left brain attributes and experience greater, more sustainable profitability.

Many investors either rely solely on “system trading” based on rigid, predefined criteria, or use “discretionary” techniques based primarily on gut instincts. In this book, Faith shows how to combine the best of both approaches. You’ll discover why your human instincts are a more powerful trading tool than you ever realized, capable of processing thousands of inputs almost instantaneously... how to harness, control, and sharpen your instincts, and overcome the emotional and psychological factors that cloud them... when not to trust your gut, and to rely on a dedicated trading system instead... how to hone your edge by recognizing the market behaviors that signal major profit opportunities... how to manage risks by sizing your trades appropriately... handle changing markets... and make the most of today’s automated, Internet-based tools.
