Why Should You Buy This Book?
Self-control is probably the most important skill you need to acquire as a trader. Unfortunately, most trading psychology books can be very vague and short on specific strategies to take control of your mental state while trading.
Trading psychology shares equal importance with money management and the trading system and yet most traders remain unaware of the importance of taking into account their trading psychology when designing a trading system. What traders need is an unambiguous trader psychology system that can easily slot into whatever system they are trading and enable them to trade their system according to their trading plan.
Control Your Inner Trader draws on the experience of an eight-year trading veteran who is also a qualified therapist. Behavioral and therapeutic techniques are included in the book that are easy for anyone to follow. Reader Reviews

Well worth the time and money...

Ms. Thomas makes some analogies in her books that I have NEVER read in other trading psychology books. Excellent. Well worth the money.
This book, combined with "Overcone Your Fear in Trading" are most excellent.
Made me want to look into some of her other works. I was not disappointed Alan
5.0 out of 5 stars A refreshing new angle on how to improve trading results.

Few trader psychology books deliver on sufficient tools. This book is surprisingly different. Despite being short compared to other well-known top trader books as "Trading in the Zone by Mark Douglas" and "Trading for a Living by Alexander Elder" I must say that "Control Your Inner Trader" is definitely among the better ones. Any trader who believe that he or she can improve despite even good results will find this book have a refreshing new angle on how one can improve behavior and become a much better trader. This book is time well spent.

Useful, quick and to the point. I highly recommend this book to anyone experiencing trading frustrations. Many times the first thing we question is our "system" or methodology when the greatest obstacle to success is ourselves, our "Inner Trader." This book is worth a read of you're just starting out or have been trading for a long time.

Very helpful book indeed, in a difficult subject area

For a short book, I found more practical solutions for erroneous mental habits whilst trading, than you might ever imagine. This is (for me) the most difficult area of trading and the author LR Thomas has got right the nub of issues with no fluff or filler. I am adopting parts of this book as my mantra.
