Because knowledge alone isn't enough. The difference between struggling traders and consistently profitable ones isn't found in better indicators or secret strategies, it's in their psychological approach to the markets. This comprehensive guide identifies the four critical psychological barriers that prevent even the most knowledgeable traders from achieving consistent profitability: ...

This book is fourth in a series of books devoted to helping students understand some of the great works in ethics, social and political philosophy. It has been said that Kant's Grounding for the Metaphysics of Morals "is the single most important work in modern moral philosophy" (Henry Allison). It is also one of the most difficult books to comprehend, especially for beginning philosophy students. Understanding Immanuel Kant makes Kant accessible to students while at the same time showing why his writings have had such a powerful influence on philosophical ethics. Professor Houlgate's book ...

In the eighteenth century, the words “natural religion” referred to religious beliefs based on reason and evidence instead of revelation.

Lengthy dialogues are broken down into discrete and understandable short chapters, allowing students to easily navigate through the book. Professor Houlgate uses the same approach to help students understand Hume’s essays concerning...

Understanding John Stuart Mill is the third book in a series of philosophy study guides to the classics of philosophy. The series is designed for beginning and intermediate philosophy students who would like more depth than they would ordinarily get from "Notes" books that only give outlines of the philosopher's thoughts and theories. At the same time, the Smart Student's books are not scholarly monographs designed for graduate students and professors. Understanding John Stuart Mill focuses on both content and philosophical method in the sections on Mill's famous Utilitarianism and in his ...

You've analyzed the technical's perfectly. Your system identified the setup with precision. Yet in the moment of execution, something hijacks your decision-making. You increase position size beyond your rules. You chase breakouts without confirmation. You exit winning trades prematurely. You know better, but something more powerful than knowledge is driving your actions. That something is FOMO, the Fear Of Missing Out, and for futures traders, it's the single most destructive force standing between you and consistent profitability. If you've ever increased position size to "make up for" a ...

There are only a few books that have made a significant change in political society. There are even fewer books that inspired a revolution. But in 1789, 11 years after his death, Jean-Jacques Rousseau's The Social Contract did just that. The Social Contract became the Bible of the French Revolution. From Rousseau’s opening words “Man is born free but is everywhere in chains” to his call for a government “by the people,” he risked his life and reputation by challenging the existing political order to return to the terms of the social contract and restore civil liberty. ...
