Book Giveaway: Trading In The Zone by Mark Douglas
Win A Free Trading Book!
I would like to give many thanks to all the regulars and visitors to TradingWinner.com. I was thinking about different ways I could give back to the trading community supporting Trading Winner, my sponsors, and myself. I not only wanted to give back to the community, but give something that has long term benefits. Books are the best gifts I could think of. As the title says, I am giving away one copy of Trading In The Zone by
Mark Douglas.
Trading In The Zone by Mark Douglas
I recently wrote a review of Trading In The Zone which gives a brief description of the book, my likes and dislikes, and my thoughts. Read my review: Book Review; Trading In The Zone by Mark Douglas.
Benefits of Trading & Investing Books
Why am I giving away books? In my opinion, books are one tool we can use to learn and educate ourselves.
One of my favorite quotes is this old Chinese Proverb:
"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." - Chinese Proverb (from quotationspage.com)
Rather than me, or anyone else, giving another person specific trading instructions - buy X now, sell Y now - what you can learn from a trading book and the benefits of the book not only last you a lifetime but can be extremely rewarding and profitable. The potential success you can achieve through reading books and increasing your knowledge is unlimited. Giving away a good trading book is my way of teaching someone how to fish and how to develop their investing skills to the fullest potential.

I heard a lot about this book and I really would like to read it due to the fact that I need to train my self on how to react and behave facing my looses and wins.
Discipline is what i need to learn

I guess you could say I’m a pretty big deal, I probably don’t need this book, but any tool that could give me even a tenth of a percent increase in trading profitablity would make me thousands of dollars.
I also know how to spell “losses”.

There are very few trading books that I would actually consider reading (either they do not pertain to my trading style or I don’t agree with what the author has to say). Mr. Douglas however does not fall into that category. If you haven’t had a chance to read “The Disciplined Trader” then I would highly recommend that book as well. I have not yet had a chance to read “Trading in the Zone” and thus would love the opportunity. Keep up the good work fellow 9ruler

Ok I’m new to the whole trading world. Thats right I’m fresh off the boat. My goal is to be good enough to do this full time. I’m sick of people telling what I can and can’t do in life. My goal is to be a very traders so I can open doors in my quest to be a full time invest and self-made millionare or billionare. I understand that I will be a very hard road. But I don’t really care. I have lose alot in the last 7 months with girlfriend, so called friends and etc. At 27 years old(turning 28 in couple week) I have nothing to lose. I don’t care how hard the road will be. I want to be a very succesful daytrader and investor. I hope everyone apply for this book gets what day want out dreams and fullfill them. I’m not going to spend 2-10k on so call gurus in the industry just to lose my money in seconds.
So I would love to get your book so I can start my path to my greatness. For me this is the first step to where I want to go. I’m not going to put my life on hold for anyone anymore.
I wish you would make a DVD about you books os I can play it over and over again. Even if I don’t win the book I hope every here finds their inner greatness and fullfill their dreams.

The biggest problem I have with my trading is the fear of “pulling the trigger�. Period. Since I started trading over 6 months ago, I have not yet been able to overcome this dilemma. I failed to execute trades when I should have because I feared I would be making a terrible mistake even though all the analysis I had done and the tools told me otherwise.
In flight school, students are instructed to trust the plane’s instrumentation as opposed to flying by their own intuition. By keeping records on my “would be� trades, I know I would have been ahead at least $12,000 by now if I had only trusted my trading system’s “instrumentation� instead of giving in to my own gut feel. I am so happy to have come across a book that addresses the exact problem that I am having. I really hope that I am the fortunate soul to win “Trading in the Zone� by Mark Douglas.

I just started trading and feel that any resource that would help me to execute my trades better would be of great benefit. I think that this book would be of particular help for building the proper frame of mind in order to trade successfully. Whatever the task at hand I like to first be mentally prepared. Right now I feel the need to be much better prepared mentally for trading and is why I would like to win this book. Thank you.

I guess I haven’t really thought that much about the psychology part of trading and how it could be affecting my trades but would like to know more about it. I would definitely say that I am still in the learning stages of trading so any new information I could get would be very helpful to me. For this reason, I would very much like to read “Trading in the Zone� by Mark Douglas.

After observing would-have-been-profitable trades slip, I am completely convinced that trading is 100% psychological(recently read similar entry on Dr. Tharp’s blog http://www.smarttraderblog.com/2006/11/everything_is_psychological.php).
Next step after this realization is direct mind in the zone to experience zen like emotion free state when you buy/sell. This is where this book will shine and lead the way…

I have started trading 3 months back in the Indian Stock Market & have lost almost 50 % of my capital. I want to win back the money i lost. After observing my trades i found that i am impatient with profitable trades & patient with losing trades. Even after i came to know about applying stop loss it didn’t help much. I need to train myself for having discipline & patience.
I would like to read this book for understanding the trading pshycology.

I am new to trading the futures and have been recommended by friends to read this book . I have a challenge and that is I make alot of profits on paper and when it comes to real live trading, I find I am not making the profits I can. I strongly believe this is due to the mental stumbling blocks I have. From what I gather, this book will unleash the power within me to overcome those mental blocks that is hurting my trading.
By the way, I only found this site now, hope it is still not too late.

My husband and I have been in a 7day a week business for 24years, no holidays and no super… Recently after a health issue we decided things had to change, but how? We have since making the decision to change our situation stumbled upon 21st century and have attended our first workshop this weekend just gone. The presenter recommended this book and in fact I now recall I have heard of it here and there before. We would really appreciate the opportunity to see this book and share it with our family to start focused on a new life, instead of stumbling our way from one crisis to another, bandaiding, like we feel we have been in business. Hope we win but if we don’t I’m sure the winner will appreciate this most generous gift. Says alot about you!

I am learning the art of trading- I feel that this will ALWAYS be the case for me- now, and into the future. Each time I take a trade I learn something, as with each time I read of the experience of others, and read material published for self-educating traders like me to read. One thing I know, and know well, is that I WILL PERSIST! The surest way to lose is to give up. If I were to gain a psychological edge from reading Mark Douglas’ book “Trading In The Zone”, then I would have taken a huge step toward achieving my dream of mastering this ‘trading’ game.
Onward….in my quest for knowledge!

I frequent several trading blogs most week days. One is TraderFeed. The author, Dr. Brett Steenbarger, is a Dr. of Psychology . His blog focuses on the psychology of emotions the trader needs to understand in order to improve his endeavor. Having read many days of his writing I see that it is very important to be aware of what one thinks reguarding trading activities. To this end I am interested in reading Mark Douglas’ book Trading in the Zone. It was recommended reading by a subscriber to the Worden TC2000 daily financial information service. Money is always at a premium so maybe I can win a copy. I have no vested interest in the Dr’s blog or the Worden service.
