Trading asks you to make decisions before you know how they will turn out.
This book explores how professionals think about that problem, from the way they interpret markets to the assumptions they bring to a trade.
It examines how randomness shapes results, why sound decisions can lose money, and how traders learn from experience without drawing the wrong conclusions.
Stories from markets, aviation and other high-stakes fields connect ideas from probability and decision science to the practical demands of trading.
The aim is to develop the judgment behind a lasting trading career, with a clearer understanding of risk, opportunity and your own performance.
