That is the claim Mark Douglas builds everything on, and it&rsquo;s harder than it sounds. He began coaching traders in 1982 and published <em>The Disciplined Trader</em> in 1990, one of the first books to put trading psychology in front of the industry, and he kept meeting the same person: someone with a workable edge who couldn&rsquo;t execute it. They knew the setup. They took it a size too large anyway, slid the stop, or sat out the one signal that would have paid for the month. Buying more analysis never fixed it, because analysis wasn&rsquo;t the broken part.</p>
