Higher Level Trading

The path to financial expert is not a straight line of increasing information. It is a series of steps or stages each with its own perceptions and blind spots. Each succeeding level of skill has its own organizing framework made up of metaphors that shape our thinking, action and results. This kind of thinking is based in our neurobiology. We can't avoid it, so it is important that we learn how it works. Especially as strong emotions can regress us to a lower level of ability without our awareness. Get a handle on how you really make decisions, how you know what you know, and how to accelerate your mastery of trading and investing. This book draws on Faulkner's pioneering work modeling the behavior and psychology of true market wizards. Faulkner goes far beyond previous models of trader psychology, identifying five specific emergent levels/stages of trader/investor mental capabilities. These levels have far more to do with integrating and organizing market experience than with intelligence. For each level, Faulkner identifies common characteristics, time frames, trading styles, blind spots, opportunities, and more. He helps you understand where you are, perform more effectively at your current level, systematically improve, and accelerate your experience curve. This book concludes by helping you create a complete plan to mastery that encompasses lifelong learning, interacting more effectively with others -- and enjoying your journey to breakthrough success.
