Who is Mark Douglas?

Most books about markets are about markets. Trading in the Zone is about the person watching them, and that change of subject is what sets it apart on the money and finance shelf.

Mark Douglas writes on the ground where business and careers meets money and finance, and the argument our shelving implies is a psychological one: that discipline, probability and the handling of one’s own reactions decide outcomes more reliably than any system does. It is the least glamorous claim in the field and, for a good many listeners, the most useful.

What we hold is the work and its reception, and we let both speak for themselves.
