we're goodI want to share with you two books that I would recommendthat all beginning day traders should be reading,should have within their arsenal of knowledge.And even if you're not a beginner,even if you have experience, but maybe you're struggling,your results aren't that consistent,then I would say these booksshould definitely be considered by you also.And I'm gonna get right to it.This video should be,if I do my job the way I think I'm gonna do my job,should be super, super fast.So, actually, let me take a step back before I get to that.I do realize that I've done other videos,in fact, I'll put those links down below,about why I think that 95% of trading books don't work,why they're a little deceptive,why they offer very little value.And, like I said, I'm not gonna go into all that.But if you're curious on my thoughtson just kinda trading books in general,then, like I said, there's a couple videosI'll link down below,and you can go watch those if you want.But the one exception I'll make,and this is where the video,or the books I want to recommend,is when it comes to trading psychology.When you're a beginner,when you're new and just getting started,it's easy to not realizehow much of a mental game trading actually is.And it's hard to explain.It's hard to kind of relate that to peopleif they've never had real money on the line.I get it. I hear it all the time."Clay, I'm in a simulator. I'm doing demo trading.I'm having all this success."And then all of a sudden,they get into real-money situations,and things totally change around.I mean, have you ever been there before?If you have, you are not alone.I mean, I would say that probably 99% of peoplethat go from simulator trading to real trading,boom, just like that, they realizethat, "Wow, things change very, very quickly,"which again circles back to the psychology of things.So that is why the first book I would recommendis, "Trading in the Zone" by Mark Douglas.We'll put a link down below, if you want to click on that.That is an affiliate link.So if you want to help out the channel,and I don't know, probably give us like 15 cents,then just click on the link,and it'll go to a Amazon affiliate.But this would be the book that I obviously have.And, "Trading in the Zone," a very good book.I don't know if famous is the right word,but I think it's a relatively well-known book.Maybe I'm telling you this,and you're like, "Clay I've already heard of that book."Well, hey, there you go.Here's another recommendationthat you made a good choice to read it,or that you're making a good choiceof maybe you're thinking of reading it.So, like I said, "Trading in the Zone"would be the first one.And then the second one is "Trade Mindfully."Full disclosure's sake, I don't own it either.However, I will say that many membersin the trading community that I offer at ClayTrader.comhave read it, and they've had really good reviews on it.So, again, I'll put a link down below to Amazon,and you can go and check that out if you want.But those are the two books that I believecan really help you out in your trading.Are they holy grails? Are they gonna fix everything?Of course not.There is more to tradingthan only just looking and understanding psychology.There are other pieces of the puzzle.But my point here is that one, or oftentimes,a big overlooked piece of the puzzleis the whole trading psychology aspectof this thing, this side hustle, this full-time gig,whatever you want to call it,we call being a trader in the markets.So check out those couple books,and hopefully they can help you out.Hopefully they can put you in the right mindset.I mean, if you're brand newand just getting started, then fantastic.That's gonna set you up from the get goabout just how mentally draining,how mentally challenging trading can actually be.So I hope you found this video helpful.Check out those books.If you do enjoy just small, quick little videos like this,I'm curious about that.So, a very fast way to communicate that to me,just hit that like button.Comments, questions, suggestions, leave those down below.Have you read these books before? I don't know.Tell me what your thoughts are on 'em down below.And then finally, check out the channel as a whole.Lots of other types of videos, good variety.So, hopefully you like what you see enoughto hit that subscribe button.Yeah, check out those two books,and hopefully they can help you in your journey as a trader.First off, thanks so much for watching the entire video.Real quick, before you go, I want to invite youto a live webinar, web class, training, workshop,online event, whatever you want to call it,but it will be me, live,revealing to you what I've discoveredthat has allowed me to transform myselffrom being an employee to being my own boss,including how I had only one losing dayout of 73 days in total.I'm going to cover three keysthat have helped me unlock profitable consistencywithin the markets.The first key is super weird,but in a productive type of way.The second key is super awesomebecause it quite literally is wired into our DNA as humans,making it very easy to use, but, in a cruel way,this becomes a pitfall for many traders.I'll explain it all, though,including how to avoid the pitfall that it creates for some.And yeah, the third key, when you hear it,sounds way too good to be true, but it's not.And I'll show you how it all works.Then, at the end, I open it upfor a question and answer sessionthat is, again, totally live.Even if you can't make the live session,please still sign up, as it will be recorded,and you can go backand watch the replay that I will send you.Click the image on the screen,or click the link down in the description boxso you can get the date and time, and claim your spot,which I should note is limited,due to the fact that this truly is a live event.If you have any questions, let me know.If not, I'll be seeing you soon.
