As part of an occasional series of great approaches to trading, written by fellow traders/bloggers, here is a series we call “Truer Words”.

Part 1 is posted here.
Part 2 is posted here.
Part 3 is posted here.

The articles discuss topics of trading which include: emotional intelligence, trading journals (especially, but not limited to, the ones that document benefits of using Trade-Ideas), size management, P/L performance, and many other dimensions of the trading process – not just pre-trade analytics and idea generation.

StockTickr’s Interview with Brett Steenbarger

StockTickr is free “social investing” and it’s the easiest way to store a watchlist on the web. Uncover new trade ideas, use RSS to track investing ideas, and more. Their blog features interviews with interesting members of the trading community. For the sixth interview in the StockTickr Interview Series (RSS feed), they spoke with Brett Steenbarger, a clinical psychologist, S&P futures trader, and Director of Trader Development at Kingstree Trading, LLC. Brett is the author of The Psychology of Trading (Wiley 2003), a topic that most of us would do well to read up on. He’s also put the finishing touches on a second book called Enhancing Trader Performance which is due out this fall.
