Trading in the Zone Master the Market with Confidence Discipline and a Winning Attitude
Trading in the Zone Master the Market with Confidence Discipline and a Winning Attitude
Douglas, president of the seminar firm Trading Behavior Dynamics, focuses on the psychology of successful traders. Instead of offering specific strategies, he advises readers, “The first step on the road…is to understand and completely accept the psychological realities of trading.” It may be too abstract for some, but given trading’s risks, this book could assist experienced investors willing to engage in self-reflection.

3 Stars It’s OK but
I read almost half of this book and I had to give it up. The reason I quit is because Mr. Douglas just blathers on through every chapter. Each chapter I’ve read is poorly arranged. He is not a professional psychologist. Plus his book contains no bibliography, no end notes, nor any suggested reading. I can’t tell what kind of research (if any) went into this book.
At the begining of the book, he mentions that he became a consultant 2 years after failing miserably at trading. I would rather read a book by somebody that failed at trading, figured out what they did wrong, traded successfully, and then decided to become a consultant.
Read Reminiscences of a Stock Operator. It has all the lessons contained in Trading in the Zone (as far as I can tell) without any of the pain of Mr. Douglas’s blathering.
4 Stars Meet your psychologist
This book provides psychological training for trading, just like when u’re taking part in competitive sports. Players are brought through some psyche sessions to stregnthen levels of determination and perseverance. This book provides training in a layman language which i find very useful
2 Stars Not much of helpful information
Bought the book after reading all other good reviews but was dissapointed. This books has too much repitation of same example which was a bit annoying. Chapter 11 excercise wasn’t helpful. After reading the book I walked away with nothing helpful to improve my trading. Very dissapointed.

5 Stars Trading in the Zone
Very pleased - the book arrived when promised and in excellent condition. A great savings over buying retail.
5 Stars AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME (for me)
OK - If you are an experienced trader with a plan, but can’t make yourself trust the plan “Pull the Trigger”, then this is the book for you. I did another review that doesn’t seem to be here, but I gave it 4 stars, because I still could not enter a trade without fear. 2 days later after STUDYING Mr. Douglas’s book, I get it - the information entered my soul and at this time I am trading with confidence instead of fear. Not 100% confidence yet, but see me in 30 days and I will be telling a different story if I just apply my plan which I now can do.
To me that is all this book is about. Getting the fearful trader to lose his/her fear and follow through with all the learning that they know will work.

Praise for How I Trade Options
“To much of the outside world, trading appears to be as incomprehensible as rocket science. What Jon Najarian has done in this engaging and very readable book is to ‘demystify’ the world of options for both the aspiring trader and the retail investor. How I Trade Options is a rare opportunity to look over the shoulder of this experienced options trader, teacher, and lecturer.” -Lewis J.
“How I Trade Options gives retail investors who have little or no prior knowledge the insight into how options work and how to use them effectively and responsibly. For those who want to learn about options, this is a rare opportunity to learn from a master trader. Najarian shows commitment to educating investors on the use of options to enhance their portfolios.” -Rance Masheck, President, Quantum Vision Inc.
“Not only is Jon Najarian a Supertrader, he is a Superteacher. I owe much of my good fortune to Jon Najarian. I learned more from him than I had learned in an entire decade-plus it was fun! Jon’s abilities to make his profitable trading strategies understandable are sure to make How I Trade Options a must-have tool that every option trader will want to own.” -Don Fishback, Developer of the Fishback Option Pricing Model
“Jon Najarian is a world-class options trader and a world class options educator. His crystal clear explanations of such strategies as vertical spreads empower the average investor to participate in attractive options approaches that, until now, have been dominated by professional traders.” -Bernie Schaeffer, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Schaeffer’s Investment Research, Inc.

5 Stars Negative reviews are ludicrous
I have met Jon Najarian and heard him speak (NYC early March 2009 at a seminar). I found him to be kind and approachable, humble, very bright, and completely honest about his very short football career! Buy this book. Most of the negative reviews appear to be written by the same person, a person who will benefit from selling the products of MacMillan, Natenburg and Fontanills, or someone who has a very bitter attitude toward DRJ. Another person was extremely critical of a Najarian subscription option recommendation service. Attentiveness and self-education play a large role in successful option trading. Most of Najarian’s picks make money — you just need to know when to get out, and how to limit your losses on the ones that don’t work out. DRJ’s service is the best of several I’ve tried.
I strongly recommend this book. I lost my copy, and am buying another one.
It’s deplorable that certain review writers choose unfounded personal attacks over professionl and well-reasoned criticism, especially when a man’s livelihood and reputation are on the line.
5 Stars NEGATIVE REVIEWS ARE SCAM!!
You will see 10 Negative reviews for this book. Look closely at them. Two of them have been copied TWICE EACH for posting and the same common phrases and word usage are in all 10 reviews.
It seems that someone has a hard on against this author and counters each positive review with another NEGATIVE review to keep the average review score down to a 3 star level.
OUTSTANDING BOOK WITH TONS OF REAL INFO TO HELP! BUY THIS BOOK!!!
HE IS A GREAT SPEAKER, AS WELL!!!
5 Stars Thoroughly enjoyable read
I am halfway through this book and I find it a thoroughly enjoyable and informative book on the topic. I sometimes look forward to getting back to it. I don’t find his reference to his own football career or to his own success objectionable at all. On the contrary, it’s enjoyable. He brings sometimes complex and therefore, perhaps threatening, concepts down to the basic level and explains them quite thorougly. All in all, I’m cool with the book and the author. I’m glad that I purchased it.
Hope this helps.
5 Stars Pro’s Lessons On How To Trade Options
Dr. J. (Author) is a seasoned pro that wrote this book without hype and extremely rare examples of huge profits that very very few people normally make. Rather, he discusses both risk and reward. He seasons his book with a good amount of humor and insights into the life of a big-time trader that has survived decades at the top levels of the options business. If you don’t read this book and do trade options - you’re just foolish! I know a bit about it. I’ve held a Series 7 stock broker’s license. And I learned a lot from this well written book!
5 Stars How I Trade Options
Excellent book for anyone who wants to trade options or needs more info to help them get better if they are a trader. I would recommend this book to anyone who is in the stock market.
