The Psychology of Trading

Most traders lose not because their strategy is weak, but because their mind isn’t ready.

In the high-stakes world of trading, strategy alone won’t take you to the top. What separates consistently profitable traders from the rest isn’t just technical skill, it’s mental resilience. In The Psychology of Trading, full-time trader and bestselling author Sunil Gurjar shares the hard-earned lessons, honest truths, and actionable tools that helped him navigate the emotional rollercoaster of the markets.

Whether you’re struggling with fear, impatience, overconfidence, or self-doubt, this book gives you practical ways to master your mindset, so you can trade with clarity, discipline, and confidence.

Inside, you’ll learn:
• Why most traders sabotage their own success—and how to stop
• The two edges you need to win: hard (strategy) and soft (psychology)
• How to build emotional control without losing your edge
• What the behaviour gap is—and how to close it
• How to balance strategy, mindset, and risk management for long-term success

Whether you’re a beginner trying to stay sane or a seasoned trader looking to break past mental plateaus, The Psychology of Trading will help you trade smarter—and think sharper.
