However as it barely mentions anything specifically about the technical aspects of stock trading I felt it could be relevant to betfair trading - and someone had recommended it to you on that basis, so I gave it a whirl!<BR/><BR/>I didn't want my blog to be a commentary on this book only, so at first I thought I wouldn't mention the title but just document my attempts to put into action the psychological concepts he puts forward - and then strongly recommend it later if it worked!<BR/><BR/>At 200 pages of psychological concepts (many of them abstract) it's a long read but I am trying to follow what I learned which I feel is a lot. That is because my major failing in the past has been to occasionally wipe-out my balance in one fell swoop. This is a psychological issue and that is what the book is all about.<BR/><BR/>I'll write a post about the book after I've had chance to trade for a while longer trying to put it into practice.<BR/><BR/>Mind GamesMind Gameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18121797553465968869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6634548863347354947.post-62995310436692849532008-08-01T11:54:00.000+01:002008-08-01T11:54:00.000+01:00Hi Graeme,Thanks for your kind comments!

You appear to be quite into the detail of trading which is similar to me in many aspects although I get the impression you have more Betfair experience than me!<BR/><BR/>I'll add a link to your blog from mines which should give you some exposure to new readers.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with your trading.<BR/><BR/>GraemeGraeme Dandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06508032031340730990noreply@blogger.com
