There have of course been many people who have been instrumental in helping and guiding me to be where I am today and who have helped me to achieve many of my goals and ambitions (this book being one of them!) and so I would like to take this opportunity to say a few heartfelt thank yous.

For their lifelong support and encouragement my parents Vic and Judy Ward.
For supporting me in pursuing the things I love to do my beautiful wife Sabine and my amazing son and champion Oliver.
For always being there when needed my lifelong best mate Blairy.
For his wisdom and encouragement a great coach and ever-improving Yoda impersonator, Donald MacNaughton.
For igniting my passion for performance psychology and setting me loose in the world of sports psychology Jeffrey Hodges.
For setting me on the path to trading psychology Gavin Gobby.
For introducing me to the institutional world of trading Khoi Tu.

For the opportunity to work at probably the best proprietary trading group in the world and for supporting me in the writing of this book Sonny Schneider and Matthew Silvester
For making this book possible every trader I have ever worked with; everyone who has given input and feedback; and also to the many authors who have led the field in trading psychology, and provided inspiration to my own study of this topic, most notably Brett Steenbarger, Mark Douglas and Ari Kiev.
And finally to the most understanding editorial team in the world we got there!
Thank you all.
It was 2005 when I first entered the world of trading, having previously spent my time working in sports and performance psychology with elite athletes, sports teams and corporate clients. I was invited to London to present some seminars on performance psychology to a large trading institution, with an audience comprised of about 150 traders. I was initially disappointed to find that not one of them wore a pinstripe suit or bowler hat and that the dress code seemed more akin to mandatory jeans and t-shirts. It was, however, the beginning of what has been an amazing journey of learning and discovery, in which I have become ever more involved in the world of financial trading, even becoming a trader myself.
The premise behind my initial invitation was simple but novel. The institution had been looking to create the very best environment to train successful traders in, and which the best traders would want to work from, too. But something was still missing.
They had a fantastic modern office right in the heart of the City; they provided the best trading platforms and charting packages; they had developed an excellent graduate training programme; they had high speed connectivity, impressive risk management and just about everything that a trader could want. (Including a games room and a concierge service!) Yet they felt that the performance of the traders could still be better and ultimately after having looked at all of the possible environmental and external factors that contribute to trading success, they finally looked to the most important person in the trading equation: the trader himself. Enabling the trader to perform at his or her peak for as much of the time as possible was seen as being key to maximising the profitability of the individual and therefore the organisation.
Over a period of almost twelve months I presented regular seminars to the traders on topics such as emotional state management, goal achievement, concentration and focussing, the development of a traders mindset as well as working with many traders on a 1:1 and group coaching basis. The feedback was exceptionally positive, and from this beginning I ended up working with institutions and traders across the globe, embarking on a path that I had never envisioned but am now absolutely passionate about. Why?
