200+ pages packed with helpful insights, loads of tools, and exercises to overcome the issues that are holding you back.
Whether it is entering too early, exiting too late, FOMO, averaging down, or many of the other common problems traders face, this book provides guidance on overcoming these issues.
It is not a technical manual on trading. It is a guide to improve what YOU are doing. The market provides, and as traders, it is our job to capitalize. This book is about improving how you trade and the clarity of your decisions, so you can capitalize.
The book is broken down into several sections:
1. Tools: 11 Tools you can use to overcome the issues you are facing in your trading. When a trading issue arises, use the tools to swiftly resolve it.
2. Trading Problems and Fixes: Guidance on overcoming the 16 most pervasive trading issues through insights, which tools to use, and exercises.
Trading problems specifically addressed:
- System Hopping, Holding Losses, Exiting Too Early, Exiting Too Late, Entering Too Early, Entering Too Late, Overtrading/Impulsivity, Trading in Poor Conditions, FOMO, Acting on Others’ Opinions, Undertrading/Scared to Trade, Revenge Trading, Averaging Down/Huge Losses, Focusing on Money Not Process, Out of Sync, Can’t Focus, Blaming Market/Others
3. Creating Personalized Solutions: Learn a problem-solving feedback loop to overcome your most persistent roadblocks, with examples from life and trading.
4. How and When to Focus on Process and How and When to Focus on Results: There is a time for both, and messing this up will mean your trading gets messed up. Learn how these key components of trading success work together.
- Learn how to focus on the process and let go of results when the situation demands it, like when you are in the midst of a trade.
- See how to build processes you are confident in outside trading hours, that provide the results you want.
- Learn how to set goals and achieve them by “working backwards” when it is time to focus on results.
- Learn how to dismantle roadblocks currently preventing you from reaching your goals.
- Learn the two types of confidence you need as a trader. One without the other is a disaster. Most newer traders have only one type, and probably haven’t even thought about the other.
5. A Personalized Reminder Document: Learn how to create a document that you can continually refer to, reminding you of tools, ways of thinking, beliefs, and commitments that will keep you on track. This is your summary of what you have learned, and your personalized think-map to keep you clear, relaxed, and confident during trading hours and during review/improvement time.

About the Author
Cory is a Chartered Market Technician and has been trading since 2005. In 2005, Cory began his trading journey with a proprietary day trading firm. They provided capital, and his only job was to trade it and make money. In exchange, the firm took a cut of his profits. No salary, no benefits, no job security…make money or hit the road. In an industry with less than a 5% success rate, Cory was making a living from his trading in less than a year, trading every day and working nights to pay the bills during that initial learning period. Once he was profitable, he traded full-time (no more day/night jobs), loving the flexibility, fun, money, and challenge that trading offers.
In 2011, Cory left the firm to trade on his own. He has extensive experience day trading stocks, ETFs, forex, and futures, as well as swing trading stocks, ETFs, and forex. Cory still actively trades and writes articles for TradeThatSwing and a select group of other prominent financial sites. He is an avid golfer (currently a 0.5 handicap), rock climber, obstacle course racer, enjoys healthy eating when he remembers, hiking, camping, and spending time with his family.
